Just my unprofessional opinion.

While the '11/'12 GT500 solved some of their launch/handling issues over the '07-'09 cars, they are still essentially overpowered rockets on overwhelmed wheels.

The Super Snakes added MORE power on top of equally overwhelmed tires.

The '13 Shelby has a lot of tweaks, some more significant than others, that were added in order to make the car more 'user friendly' if you will.

Regardless, we all know that with a driver like myself, both a GT500 and a ZL1 will be a smoke show with piss poor ETs
