It EXCEEDED the GT500 output, when engineering finalization on THAT program was signed off. 580 to 540, remember? And THEN Camaro spent their development dollars on something that SHOCKED the world, positively: something called Z/28.
Wow, you really do believe your own bullstuff! How does 580hp exceed 662hp, or 12 sec runs exceed 11 sec runs? So tell me, how the ZL1 exceeds the GT500 in performance.
The "
engineering finalization" that I accurately mention was "finalized" in
2010. And WHAT was the GT500's hp in MY 10 and 11?
540. And the ZL1 was SAE'd @ WHAT?
580.
What magazine times did 10-11 GT500s run? What times did '12 ZL1s run?
Ford saved their BEST, secretly, and announced
662 HP! (for '13) on the same day as the ZL1 was revealed as a '12 MY entry, back in winter '11. By then, Team Camaro was onto the Z/28 program...which, in fact,
STUNNED people with ITS intended capabilities. No Bullsh!t, but
FACT!
As an aside, how would you like to have paid
steep $40s for a 540 hp '10 or '11 GT500, and then have Ford
OBSOLETE your car
before its first oil change?!
Nice!

GM could have done what Mopar just did...make a 1/2-price taxi cab that outruns your "halo ultra-performance sports car". But they haven't and didn't and won't. THAT means looking after ALL your customers, not just a few who want taxi cabs...or who invested in instantly-obsolete SHELBYS!
I LOVE people who post GM cars in their "Drives" section and then troll this site for arguments...like it's protection from being identified for what they are...
You may actually drive 1 quick Z28...but that car is a LOT
swifter than its owner...
