The ZR1 is a different car from the rest of the 'Vette's.


And it only has two seats. Eat that Ford!

There is talk of Ford bringing back the GT. But i think that idea is in its very early stages

Ford thinks they are really doing something with a 650 Shelby all GM is doing is laughing bringing the new C7 out next year then following with a much much lighter Camaro.

It will be built on the same platform as the new Caddy ATS which is much lighter than Zeta. Hence, a much lighter Camaro.

Are you comparing a vette to a mustang?
How much lighter is the camaro going to be in your "professional" unbiased opinion of course.

Dude, really? If Ford WANTED to they could. They are a business though and as a business they are concentrating on their sellers and cars that make them money. i don't blame them. Look at January sales, Ford UP 7%, GM DOWN 6%. Discuss..........

Oh please. One month of sales means nothing. Ford has just as much a chance of having a down month as GM does.
