Default GT500 vs ZL1 On Dyno

Read it here:GT500 vs ZL1 On Dyno

We know the GT500 is the more powerful car. Still, putting them both on the dyno seems like a good idea. That's exactly what Inside Line did with interesting results. More than anything though, we'd like to see the them both on a track.

Proving the Shelby is underrated. Does anyone know the price difference between the cars?

I wouldn't mind either one of these beautiful cars.

According to both websites, Ford says the 2013 GT500 starts around $54,200. Chevy says the ZL1 starts around $54,095.

Wow... huge difference in power, not even close. The ZL1 has numbers closer to the older GT500's

Those ZL1 wheels are sexy as hell, but doesn't make up for how awesome and race-car the GT500 looks. Not only that, but the stang sounds louder and meaner than the camaro. GT500 is just all around more appealing

i dont like the shelbys rims but i love the car, love all the tiny little features like the mycolor everywhere and the gauges, when i rode a friends camaro i asked him where did i change the gauge colors and he said "uh you cant" i dont know i love all the mustangs tiny features that add so much to it, i just dont like how the shelby has no grille, if the supersnake 1000 has a grille how come this one doenst

the shelby beats the corvette ZR1, not sure why beating up a lowly camaro is news.

2013 GT500 is the fastest V8 production car in the world. thats a FACT.

what a stupid place to do a comparison - put those cars on the drag strip and around a track!

I wonder if they even had the break in miles on the Shelby, (if Ford still does not provide full power output until break in mileage is exceeded).
