2013 GT500 being tested right now in GA! (crappy vid)

You guys think that Al O is typing up a letter to camaro nation right now?

I wonder what Al O would run in the GT500 lol

 

[fdjizm]

probably 16's and say "told you so"

 

[Mike K]

Damn thing will need a roll bar stock.

If that was on stock tires, I'm VERY impressed! Thing is, they bogged it, or the Traction Control did, on the launch. The 60' must of been up there a bit.

Right about now, I can see Camaro5 guys and gals doing a kabookie dick dance to try and curse the GT500. Motor oil, transmission fluid, pistons, spark plugs and chicken bones all over the fucking place.

Saw them up at Road Atlanta last night. They were packing up as the SCCA guys were moving in for the weekend.

The denial has already started on camaro5.com

Evan Smith a pro driver had a best run of 11.8 sec @123. Times ranged from 12.6 sec (High) to a pro time of 11.8 (Low). That being said GM (non pro) engineers got a 11.9 with the ZL1 so its a drivers race. With all that HP and extra time to prepare the cars are about the same.

^what!!?? lmao now GM has shitty drivers.

I think it was Motortrend that had one run 11.3 with stock tires. With both cars running slicks and hard launches I hope that the GT500 will be more competitive in the 1/4 with it's live axil vs the ZR1's IRS.

My hope is for the Mustang to tear up anything that Government Motors puts on the road.

With both cars on slicks and hard launches I dont see the Mustang going 10.20's. A stock ZR1 has already done it on drag radials. Looks like that IRS worked pretty decent to me.

 

[wazslow]

What kind of mph did the 2011/2012 GT500's run? I thought this car would be a little faster than 121 mph.

I give up on Camaro/GM owners. They are the most sensitive, butt-hurt group of people I've ever encountered. They're worse than the French.

Any idea what rpms the ZR1s are launching at? That car looks like it's coming up too evenly.

This^ They are the worst. they are the most blind brand loyal people ever. 99% wont ever look at a Ford or even consider it. I am a Ford guy, but I would look at a GM vehicle IF they had one better than ford hahaha. But I dont hate them, just dont care for them.

Yeah. I'm brand loyal because I like Ford's designs and powertrain directions. That said, I'd LOVE a Challenger R/T or SRT8! Such a sick car! GM has thus far been utterly disappointing in terms of car styling. They lost me when the C5 died...the C6 is an ugly sumbitch.

I don't know what the guy launched at but Im sure he is slipping the clutch quite a bit to get it to stick.

I wouldn't be caught dead in a C5 if I could afford a C6(had 2 of them). LOL To each their own I guess.

The live axil is defiately superior for dumping it at 6k.

I never said it wasn't. Just don't think a stock GT500 will run with a stock ZR1 or drag radial to drag radial with equal drivers.

 

[fdjizm]

I don't think anybody is expecting the gt500 to run with a zr1, nor should it being that it's in a different class of car and price range.
The zr1 is in the 100k range it better be faster, shiieeet lol

Sounds like Rob72 is...

"With all that HP the goal should be to take down the ZR1."

Ok in both video that 1st gear sounds sssssooo long.
