Meh, we'll see.
The 11-12 GT500 with all that "dis-advantageous" set up, whips the M3 and the M3 has been the pinnacle of a well balanced 4-seater performance machine. The new GT500 has more power but it will also have better suspension that should be even better around a track than the already potent 11-12 GT500. It will also come with a needed Launch Control that it didn't have before, it will help with the straight line runs.
No Mustang should even be in the same league as the 5th Gen Camaro, especially the ZL1. GM had 7+ years to engineer a car that should have been many years untouchable. GM came with a LS3 SS and competent V6and Ford came right back with a 5.0 and V6. Now the ZL1, shoot, it should be the complete GT500 slayer that it was marketed to be but it isn't. The GT500 isn't marketed as the ZL1 slayer. I like Ford's approach with their GT500, let it do the talking.
Let me ask you, what will you say IF the new GT500 outperforms the ZL1 is every performance testing venue?
New owners should start receiving their GT500s in a few weeks so it won't be long before we start seeing some real world numbers. Good times for all.
