I don't see this thing hooking up... I need videos lol.
BEFORE THE FLAME...Know that I like mustangs...love them in fact
However...to compare this to a Zr1 is not an accurate comparsion...Maybe in a straight line it will match performance..however I do not believe that even w/850hp that it will come close to what the Zr1 has done on the Nur or even Laguna Seca...the ZR1 has just beaten the Viper that was built to beat it ....the viper has brand new tech while the ZR1 is working off of 5-6 year old tech...just shows you how advanced it was...
No matter how much HP you put into a car...weight and suspension are still factors that need to be addressed....and when both cars are crazy fast it becomes an even bigger deal.
Its a nice Gt500...more HP...wide stance..bigger tires/wheels....but a ZR1 it will never be....or beat overall IMO.
I agree about "ring times" ...
For me a straight line is all I care about ahhaaha....how much power are you making in your 13 Gt500...was thinking of trading my vette in for one but I think I am just gonna mod mine instead....love the car
I hate mustangs but this one isn't all that bad looking, but I doubt it will out preform the zr1 vett. Deff would out preform the new Camaro though.

Of course I was talking about straight line... I thought this was implied. Context clue: Mustang.
There are not many cars that are light weight when it comes to anything more then 2 seats now a days. Safety, emissions, luxury items, ect..
Not much you can do about it. If I could order one stripped out with no ac, radio, manual windows I would have for sure. I totally agree with you on that part of it. Like the '95 Cobra R and '00 Cobra R.
They are not trying to compete with the Corvette or Viper hahaha. Those are 2 seater sports cars. Ford last sports car was the Ford GT. The fact that it can be compared to and even out perform those cars in some categories just goes to show how well Ford is doing. Even with a solid rear axle and a 3800lb+ car.

My truck weighs barely under that, has half the horse power and still makes me scream like a little girl lol Who cares about weight? A lot of new econo cars weigh more... Its a sweet car. The one in the pic just needs its wheels painted white, and I'd own it in a heart beat if I had the money! And this is coming from a bow tie guy
This but there will definitely be a chip on somebody's shoulder for having what I assume to be 100 or more horsepower than the new C7Z variants. Either I find it to be impressive and looks good too. In no way would I call it a POS... maybe the interior
I don't know if I could justify the money even if I was a millionaire... I guess the warranty is good to have once you blow the rear end out.
WOW!
The cars coming out are getting interesting again
Then why 850hp? Because....statement ? It has more hp then a zr1 but still can't compete with it. That's kinda sad, but hey that's a mustang for you. Maybe they should just make it a two seater it's not like anyone can sit in those cramped ass back seats anyways.

It's not just the seating arrangement that makes it a non-direct competitor with the Corvettes. It competes more with the Camaro (GM dropped the ball on the ZL1 570~hp), and the Challenger. Ever heard of the term "pony" car or "muscle" car? These are the only ones less. The Corvette is more than just horsepower, straight line, and blowing the tires off.
I'm not knocking any of the muscle cars, they were built with a purpose and can be made to handle quite nicely.
