Somebody buy this 2013 GT500 and let's do our own Test!

Ok, so none of us future ZL1 owners seem to have the patience to wait for the inevitable smackdown of the 2013 GT500 v.s. the 2012 ZL1. So I propose that somebody with rather DEEP pockets (Drake? ) please buy this car at the Barret Jackson Auction and let's conduct our own review of the two cars. The ZL1 will be out sometime next month I'd imagine so let's...

That is NOT a 2013 GT500, it is just a R&D vehicle that is not able to be registered for road use.

I will admit the GT500 has a really aggressive front-end, but there is just something about the Camaro that I love...

I don't like the new wheels, at all. It just looks like the took the current wheels and added some ugly to them.

And since the rest of the lineup has gotten the GT500 front end (and the boss has gotten snazzy new heat extractors), I REALLY think they should have done something with the GT500s hood and extractor to both try and set it apart again and just make it a little better looking (I've always thought they could have done something more attractive or more aggressive with the heat extractors, they're just kind of plain).

They need to do a base model to base model test and see what happens.

Seeing that photo just reminded why I no longer buy mustangs. Butt ugly , my brother has a mustang from around 5 or 6 years ago and that was the last design that looked good to me. They need a complete overhaul on the
mustangs as far as the outer looks are concerned.
The camaro's just have that "I'm Nasty" look that a car with this kinda power should have. The Dodge people also have a pretty decent looking car as well .
Just how I see things without trying to be at all bias towards any of the current cars available

I agree 100% with you, 05 - 09 were best looking. I had 2006 Stage 1 Roush that looked mean, However the new models have way better interior.
