To me, the GT500, ZL1, 1LE is a better car to the Z, 6 days/week. What is a better car to a person depends what they intend to do with it and depends on their personal perception. I am waiting for the next gen camaro but dang, if someone offers me a Hellcat, I would say bye bye Camaro.
I get the gist of what you're saying and for DD purposes or 1320, sure the GT500 would be a better choice, but that isn't what I was asking per se. I was saying does the fact that the Shelby has more hp make it a better car than the Z28, not which car do you prefer.

BTW, to suggest the better car is in the eye of the beholder is a ludicrous proposition b/c someone could then say, a Nissan Murano is a better car than a Viper b/c of the way they plan to use it.... and that's just ridiculous.

IMO, no serious car enthusiast could say the GT500 is a better car than a Z28. You'd be hard pressed to find a better car and twice the price of a Z28.

Interesting sidebar but let's not derail the thread. That means no one now makes this a Ford vs. Chevy thread. There are hundreds of those threads to choose from on C5.com and we all know the new GT350R is certainly an equal to the Z28 if not even better.
