Im assuming you meant to say 44k to 48k?

ZL1's are going to start out at 54k IIRC.

Chevy doesnt offer anything in the Boss's price range or performance range.

7:41 on the burgerkingring is not bad at all.......for the price tag suspected of/at/around 54k or so.......not many cars, in fact I cannot think of another car that can compare for the price: performance.

I honestly did not read about the new GT-500......but none the less......the ZL1 is pretty bad ass....Chevy and Ford have really revamped their performance based cars.

None the less, both will be great cars, hope they compare in pricing, and will be great to see both on the ring, and at the track and see who's mod's better.

As much as I like the new GT500 and all it's power. I think it will still be a handful to drive and make that power work. I feel it will be a glorified tire roaster or roll racer without a set of slicks.

Ford is not on their game for making these pigs work in the turns.

Chevy however is headed in the right direction by adding the magnetic ride control which has been revamped a little and has the ability to compensate for many things and in a sense adjust to your driving abilities

No to mention the new Camaro's are like cockroaches. Ugly as hell and they're freaking everywhere.

I don't know what their plans are for handling package for the GT500 but I have a feeling it will be more of a straight line performer also but I wouldn't say ford isn't on their game for making the mustang work in turn (unless you were specifically speaking about the GT500).

Not bad company to have.

You are right i should have worded it differently. Geared more towards the GT500. To me, a suspension that can do all is the only thing the car lacks from being the total package. I really hope they make the car work well in all aspects.

Id love to have the Boss laguna seca.

The only thing that worries me about the Camaro is if its that fast around the ring it is probably brutally uncomfortable on the street due to the stiff suspension. The GT500 may not be as fast around a track as a ZL1 but I guarantee you'd rather take a road trip in the Mustang rather than the Camaro.

Two things to consider are it's fat ass weight and the magnetic ride control with tour and sport settings. It will be similar to the vette im sure but with the extra buffet stuffing. So I think they will have it figured and I think that is awesome. I also feel the average owner will never use it for what it was designed to do. Here is a video that explains it well.

It's the same as when the gtr came out, rice-flation is causing the Boss to sell for way over msrp and people are still buying. Check autotrader etc.... And when the Zl1 comes out, same thing.....

That is actually the cool part about the suspension......the caddy cts-v has the same suspension.....and the cts-v does the nurburing in 7:59.....pretty impressive.....and its soft as hell just cruising.....

It has a lot of settings and it self adjusts. I recall seeing this technology on like HotRod tv on spike years ago....they want to try it out for braking systems iirc~
