The 750HP suersnake (750HP) in the June 2011 Road & Track magazine ran an 11.7 on " a drag strip freshly coated with traction compound in cool weather" at Shelby's factory visit...now, the Ford guys are trying to tell me the GT500 550HP 2012 will match that equally equipped? If that's so, you don't get much for $34000 in a Supersnake, or you get quite a bargain in a GT500.

Where in the hell are you getting that a stock GT500 dynos 570HP?
They make 550 HP Crank.
The BEST ZL1 time and 2010-2011/12 GT500 times are within 2-3 tenths of each other. Yet you think that is going to be 5-6+ car lengths?
Have you ever run at a track? When I ran against a 10.8 Foxbody that was setup for ET's, I ran a 12.4 @ 117 in 100+ degrees, bogging and missing 4th/shutting down @ the 1000 mark. He trapped 124, and ran 1.6 seconds faster. He was MAYBE 5-6 cars ahead of me, and not pulling once I started going.
I posted links of guys running sub 12's on the stock Rubber. Not 11's, but close enough.
Also, why are you comparing the Average GT500 times vs the best ZL1 time that "apparently" ran 11's, yet you have provided no link, timeslip or video of this acclaimed 11 second run. Some guy from a magazing posted on the internet stating he ran a high 11 on a certain day. That doesn't hold much ground and has little credibility.
