This forum needs a facepalm icon. 
I think I'd rather have a supercharged 1LE. Pure track car, a bit less fuss than the ZL-1. We'll see if they produce the concept, since there's no Z-28 as yet (or until 2015 I figure).

Since my Camaro is just SO slow 
(haters gonna hate)
Maybe you'll like the GT500KR better?
SUCH a fun car to drive....Besides wheels-- these show soooo much brake dust and they're a little on the small side and tough to keep clean, even though I like the stamping... any other mod suggestions? I'll pass them along to the management

I'll pass them along to the management As for mods... The wheels are something I don't want to change, unless just to tuck those away for safe keeping. Wheels I like are the look of, are the CCW SP500.

If you're wanting more power, (I would) go with a TVS blower, as I think it'll still fit under the factory strut brace.
Only mods so far on my KR, are a set of WebElectric sequentials, and a Spohn adjustable panhard bar; my rear was looking about 1/4"-3/8" off; now perfectly centered.
The KR is really such a nice package as it comes, there's not that much I'd want to change, unless I were going to track the car...But then, I'd just start with a different GT500. Only so many KRs around, you know.

If you have the coin, you can always pick up a 2013 (or newer) later on. Arguably, the KR is and was the best of the factory '07-'09 GT500s. It's also historically important, because they may be the very LAST of the "pre-title", Shelby Mustangs, done while Carrol was still here to see the project through..
OP: If you really did pick up the red KR, you owe it to yourself to visit the KR section of the Teal Shelby Forums.

While the 2013 will be an awesome performer, I still would not trade a clean KR for one! There's just something I like better about the '07-'09 body, and especially one with the factory Shelby KR package. Go get the 2013 for bragging rights or track performance, but I'll keep my KR. No doubt, the 2013 will be a good seller, and people may/will be unloading them too, when the 2015+ comes along.

and I certainly don't NEED any more power...
I should reiterate again that while the ZL-1 Camaro is a beast of a car, if I'm getting another Camaro it'll be a Z-28 or a 1LE
For now I'm extremely content with my stable-- and not looking forward to the speeding tickets I'll incur in the next year. Best save money for that before any (small) modding

BTW, they don't need more power, but could always use more traction...
