2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 vs. 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Comparison Test

If I had the link now that showed the gt500 beating it in almost every test and almost 100 go I would, lol

I drove a 2ss in California for 10 days, very uncomfortable. Nice but I couldn't drop the cash on it vs a gt.

I remember the test in Motor Trend some time back where they compared the Boss 302 Laguna Seca vs. the ZL1 and honestly, having 444 hp compared to 580 hp, the Boss LS was pretty close in all comparisons for sure! Now for something completely different, rumor has it that the SVO is going to be returning the Stang line-up, imagine that, a perf turbo 4 that actually is reliable (sorry SVO owners), gets even better mileage, a "tweaked" V6 by then, gotta think they'll do that and God only knows what will happen to the GT500 by then at the rate they're going!

I read that the 1LE is coming back as an option for the Camaro, same 426 hp and 6 speed only but has some body tweaks, different wheels and re-tuned suspension and brakes, along with a 3.90 geared rearend, atleast Chevy is doing something here.

I would assume so. I really don't think they thought I would return the car the way I was talking it up. I did this purposely. Even if it wasn't in the contract, I think there's a CA law that states you have 3 days to return a car. When I bought the 370z, I signed a waiver saying that I could't return the car within 3 days, only because I lived to far. I never even mentioned it returning the car. Not sure if this is a dealer by dealer basis, or a law? Maybe it's just for used cars?

It's a good thing you got the 3 Days in the contract because in general, CA does not have a 'cooling off period' for auto leases or purchases.

Can't wait to see pictures of the Camaro!

I've never been a fan of the Mustang but when the GT beat the M3 ( for almost half the price) I started paying attention. I love the looks of the Camaro but the handling is not close to the Stang. Plus, considering the hard plastic interior and poor visibility, I'd overlook the nose of the Mustang.

* I have not driven either one.
** always been a Chevy fan
*** mustangs and camaros are like a**holes. everybody has one.

I forgot about that comparo but being such a fan of M3's I thought the comparison was kinda dumb, 2 different cars with 2 completely different markets, the person who buys the Stang would buy the M3 IF they had the extra money but more than likely, the person who buys the M3 wouldn't even consider the Stang, they might like it but would never consider it.

This whole thing about the 13' front end is making me wanna go right to the Ford dealership and actually look at in person, it didn't seem that much different in the pics, maybe I'm missing something here.

The thing that bothers me the most about the Camaro interior is the vast wasteland of nothingness on the passenger side of the dashboard area, there's just a "sea of nothing" there, like they forgot to style that area or something. I do like the 4 gauge package infront of the center console though, nice work there.

I like the addage about "they're like a**holes, everyone has em'", I always used belly buttons back in the day but applied it to Mustangs as everyone had em' down at the street races in Detroit, our group called the early 5.0's "belly buttons", boy do times change!

This is a great thread.....5 stars!

So how long before you are back in a Vette?

[BobbyG]

HA, I would have bet you would have at the very least taken ownership before deciding to jump ship!!

Personally Mark I love the new Mustangs and if you can get a deal like that then go for it. My concern is you'll have some trigger time on the Mustang and none on the Camaro, how will you know which one's the right choice?

Split the difference, go with a Hemi Challenger!

After you get the Camaro, how this for a forum name?


Chevy Camaro Yeah Buddy!

^^ Used C6 Z06 has gotta be the best bang for the buck out there, even a well maintained C5 for that matter, hell! I'm sure there's a few "tweaks" for the C5 that get it close to 500 hp!
