Damn... You guys don't know this guy but he's a straight shooter and in with the insiders. This is from his post on svtperformance. Believe or dont, this guy doesn't pull legs/lie.

Powershifted in cool weather: 11.71@129

The car will run 11.80s all day using the launch control. It is possible to run an 11.5 in the car on stock tires if you are a good driver (and I'm not talking out of 1000 hero runs in -2000 ft DA with the track ripping your shoes off). It's also possible to get very high mph in good weather while powershifting.

*Disclaimer* My personal recommendation is that you don't attempt that latter feat. Cold narrow tires and powershifting can lead to disaster. If you want to bust low 11's, just throw on a reasonable sized DR and be done with it. The high mph is just proof that the car is a ****ing animal from a roll.

If your only reason for being here is to show your support for the GT500, as bad ass as it is, you are on the wrong forum and will eventually be asked to leave.

FWIW

Actually I chat with the local Camaro guys but thanks for being so kind and welcoming.

You are very welcome here. And my post didn't quote you or anyone else for that matter...

So don't apply my post to you as I honestly didn't direct it at you.

But let me be clear. We're pretty sick of the GT500 accountability comittee coming over here with the sole intent of establishing equal representation of the Shelby on a Camaro forum.

We simply want to make sure every one knows where we stand on the issue.

I think he was actually referring to DBS, since the only post he made in here was a whole lot of shit talking.

Could you help me understand why we have a general automotive and versus section if people can't post info about other cars? I understand the need to delete the obvious trolls that scream "Camaro's suck!!" but how bout those posting info?

"we're pretty sick" seems to be an overly broad statement which certainly doesn't include everyone.

I think my post is pretty self explanatory...

It's not about general automotive discussion. It's about Fans of ONE specific car/brand that are ONLY here to defend their car/brand. This is a camaro forum and as such we expect every member to have some appreciation for the Camaro. If you don't, this isn't the right site for you.

Pretty straight forward.

Pretty straight forward.

If your post was self-explanatory, I wouldn't have asked the question.

Hennesey got a 12.2 with the ZL1, and GM Engineers got a 11.9. A pro driver on a prepped drag track got a 11.8 with the Shelby and the Ford Engineers (observed) got a best of 12.06 @ 121. Again yes the Shelby is faster, but its not that serious. If Ford was soo sure they could bury the ZL1 why did they not bring one? Or they could have brought a Z06 if they could not find a ZL1??

Look, I think the new GT500 is amazing as well, and when the ZL1 was first announced I was convinced it would put the 2012 GT500 in its place even on the 1/4 mile (I was wrong) but I didn't go around joining other sites just to piss on them and make myself feel better like you.

Are you 'DeviousStang' from the SVT forum???....(who posted a big fat "F*** You Camaro5" earlier today when he read some performance numbers) Not all are bad, but a LOT of them are happier that they are able to bash Camaro5 than they are about the numbers this car put down. A couple of them read these pages almost religiously looking for stuff to quote on THEIR website...its ridiculous. I hope this makes it there lol.

Its really quite sad that you have to go to the lengths you do...pretty damn childish.

Again...I'm not jealous because I don't own a mustang....I'm responding because you are being a tool.

Have a good day.

TheMustangSource. Not so SVT focused. Good site, I recomend to Camaro guys who like 'Stangs too.

Not sure about that but I'm impressed the owners are getting cars the same day as the press. Saw my first one being unloaded on a lot today. Crazy!

Just idle thoughts....please carry on with your bickering.

I like that it has an auto trans capable of 600hp

I do however prefer the way the G8 shifts by moving the shifter forward or backwards over paddles though

That is very very impressive!!! Especially with that trap speed. Traps like that should make 11.3's vet doable on street tires! Wowzers.
