Who the hell cares if it's a second or two faster/slower around some roadcourse against the Z...

Those are INSANE numbers for the price of the car know matter how you wanna put it...The 2013 Shelby will probably put down more power to the wheels then the ZL1 has at the crank for the same price!!!! Who cares how much it spins it's tires, THATS BADASS!!! Those numbers alone get a whole lot respect and credit from me, and i don't see how anybody could not feel the same way.

Whether you like Ford or not, whether you think it's a piece of sh$t or not, whether you think it's ugly or not, how could anyone not respect those kind of numbers, for that price?

At the end of the day both camps have cars that are truly badass and deserve much respect from car enthusiasts and the automotive community alike. However, i feel that the Shelby has taken bargain performance to unprecedented levels with the 2013, and will probably go down in history as one of the baddest muscle cars ever made, period...
Exactly!! When talkin pure engine numbers this thing trumps the mighty LS9!!! And its in a pony car for HALF the price!! How can one not tip their hat to Ford??
