Now that the official period of mourning is over, this matter-of-fact statement was made, last year, by the late-great Carroll Shelby, surrounded by smiling SVT engineers.

Thanks to tooslow for "reminding" me.
Yeah but this was said by Inside Line in their comparison of the 12 ZL1 & 13 Shelby-

Nothing is more humbling than watching a car with 100 fewer horses and the extra weight of an NFL running back disappear into the distance on a back road. But that's exactly what happened when we brought the two cars together to establish which is the best-driving pony car ever. The answer, as improbable as it seemed, was as obvious as the Camaro's shrinking taillights.

The angriest Mustang in history, the car that had face-punched the ZL1 for months at auto shows and in Web forums was being systematically annihilated by that exact car. Every corner was another opportunity for the Camaro to drop trou and wave its giant bowtie-emblazoned butt in the GT500's face.
