    lolol I've read that article about 10 times over, basically it came down to the price difference.

    C&O is an exotic/high end car meet in Alpharetta

    Yeah, the article was BS. So yeah, if you run the two lap after lap, the brakes will begin to dive on the GT500. Got it. That doesn't mean the ZL1 is better. Completely ridiculous. The GT500 was still faster on the track and in a straight line.

    Theres a couple youtube videos of people running stock pads with only changing brake fluid with zero fade issues. The stock fluid in the zl1 and gt500 is not ment for the track.

    Did you just get bored with the Termi, man? Why the upgrade?

    I loved it but in the end it was 10 years old and almost 100K miles. It was an amazing car but the '13 is an upgrade in every single way. Even with the 2.8L Kenne Bell I had on my '03 the '13 is hands down a better car.

    Plus seeing how the market for the '03/'04s are dropping I wanted to get out of it. If it was a low miles car like 30K or so I'd probably still have it. You can grab ones close to 100K for around 15K now. They are usually trash and have been upgraded/maintained with the cheapest parts possible but the market in a whole for those cars is slowly turning to junk.

    Absolutely, even in the 7 years or so I've been looing I've seen them drop almost 10k across the boards in price. I can find them right at $20k for <50k miles, stock. That was UNHEARD of 5 years ago.

    Not to mention this
    L A Motorcars - Inventory - Richardson, Texas

    I just love how they look, and I cant swing at GT500 at my current age...ha maybe in another 5 years or so I'll upgrade yet again. I got bored with my Z, and my pops feels I'll be the same way when I buy the termi, 2 years and I'll get bored.

    I didn't even talk about the GT500 having superior resale value, wow factor, etc.

    Interesting about the brake fluid. I wouldn't have thought of this. Perhaps i am showing my inexperience with braking systems. All I know is they are a pain the bleed properly! Regardless, your car is sick and I don't care who calls me a nuthugger.

    Hahaha thanks
    The price as tested in higher but if you just want a decent handling car with goobs of power the base msrp GT500 is less than the zl1. Which the magazines or zl1 faithful never take into account.

    Holy fuq that pulled hard over 100. Wow. what did that run in the QM? Did you ever run a half-mile?

    I'm not so sure it's you have to pay to play... it's you are either single or your wife was cool enough to let you get one. I couldn't even negotiate a '13 Boss. Then, of course, she gets a GL450... with every option. FML. I better get a GT500 next or I'll just show up one day with one.

    Hahahaha you are 100% right. Not being married and not having kids leaves you with a lot of time to play with expensive toys.
    Never ran it at the track. The guy I sold it too had it at Zmax in NC the very next day and I honestly dont remember what he was running. 11 something at 129mph. I remember the mph but not the 60ft or et. I lost touch with the owner and Im not sure where and what that car is up too now. He was good friends with a 5.0 Magazine editor so he told me to keep a look out since he was going to be in it but other then that I have no idea.

    Mine was Sonic Blue, my good friend had an '04 Competition Orange. SB is a 2003 only color and CO is a 2004 only color fyi. I have videos of both on Mo's dyno on my youtube account.

    sweet jesus. Monster. xD

    I test drove a modified z06 a few weeks ago, and that felt quick, but that termi is faster, and the gt500 is faster than that.

    Just saw this...very nice.

    Again a big fan of the 13's for the new enhancements....better handling, 5.8 and the extra 112hp doesnt hurt...thats crazy w/some bolt ons you were able to make an extra 150 whp out of it...any planned track time to see what it scoots down the quarter in ?

    If I was a betting man...u could see 135 mph traps....good lawd

    I like the blue one best...it could be PINK and would still like it best because its FASTER lol...

    What mods are done to it? I like it a lot.

    I am definitely a Chevy guy but have respect for some Fords.

    Added 3 more pictures to the top of the first post. I havent been able to drive the car in about 2 months so I told my Dad to take it out for a cruise. He snagged just a few pictures of it.
    More boost and parts to be added in the next month

    Hahahaha thanks! That was a video of my 2003 2.8Kenne Bell Cobra. I dont have any of my 2013 yet. I dont get much time to go drive it unfortunately.

    I may bring it up to NY for a few weeks in the summer and take it around Watkins Glen. I haven't decided yet.
