Second wheres Fords Nurburgring lap time? Oh yeah they were too scared to tell us the results I guess. And on top of that the new Shelby costs more than a ZL1 to even compete with it you have to pay more money for all the track options.
Just because a car has more horsepower doesnt mean anything I will admit that the Mustang does have weight on its side but even then the ZL1 and Nissan GT-R have proved cars with weight can still go fast. We will see if the new Shelby can actually put all that power to the wheels or not that will be the key. And really this matchup doesnt mean much because its the end of this generation. The next Mustang comes out in a year in a half its competition wont be the 5th Gen Camaro but a lighter 6th gen Camaro that will more than likely give it fits and then some BUT at least Ford will have IRS and not the ancient live axle the Shelby you like so much has.

oh here we go.
They're just cars! It sounds like you won't be happy until the Mustang ceases to exist.
Me I would rather have more competition. North America is the #1 car market in the world, and has a greater population than Europe and yet Europe has such a wide selection of car brands:
The Germans.. (Porsche, Audi, BMW, MB, Maybach, VW, Opel)
The French.. (Peugeot, Bugatti, Citroen, Renault)
The English.. (Land Rover, Aston Martin, Mini, Bentley, Jaguar)
The Czech.. (Skoda)
The Italians.. (Fiat, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lancia)
The Spanish.. (Seat)
The Dutch (Spyker)
The Swedes (Volvo, Koenigsegg, Saab - RIP)
If we learn to appreciate variety, North Americans can also enjoy many North American brands, but nooooooooooo!! Here we have rabid brand loyalists who want the utter destruction of brands that compete with their fanboy favorite! It frustrates me when I go to Europe and see so much variety, and then come back to North America and see so much homogeneity - big box stores, Macdonalds/Starbucks on every street corner, rabid fanboys - depressing!!
And don't deny that you want the utter destruction of competing brands, because clearly most people are secure with the existance of the Mustang, and clearly you are not.
