Read my post again...I NEVER said it was ugly, just that I much preferred the look of the ZL1 over the Shelby. Trust me, I wouldn't buy a car if I thought it was ugly.....no matter how fast it was. In fact the more I look at the Shelby, the more the look is growing on me.

Even though the look is growing on me, it doesn't make me like the ZL1 does.

Keep your 60' times, at least I stand up to piss.
Shouldn't you be over on allfordmustangs whining about your transmission or something?

...if you want to compare performance numbers, well, the GT500 retains it's title of the highest hp, worst performing car in the world.

Get over it man. It was this forum and Al O. and some
regular Joe (not Joe the mod)who seems to be idolized by a lot of people here who were doing all the crowing and chest pounding. Some of us tried to share knowledge but were told misinformation was just fine. OMG OMG, ZL1 with CTS-V engine is going to destroy the GT500. OMG wait! It's 580hp, it is going to bitch slap the GT500! Holy chit, no way the GT500
can match the ZL1 with its stick axle and lousy suspension that can't put power to the ground. Blah blah f'n blah. Give credit where credit is due and stop all the excuses. I just don't understand the bitching. If you're a true Camaro enthusiast, who cares if a Honda is faster? I like both GT500 and ZL1 but they are both inferior to a lot of other cars. I don't give a crap.
