ZL1 at Barrett Jackson this weekend

I'm watching Barrett Jackson auction tonight and they mentioned the ZL1 Camaro will be there this weekend. I'm assuming just a preview of the car.
Anyway, during the commercial breaks I've seen 2 Chevy commercials for the ZL1.

Chevy looks to be putting some money behind the ad campaign. Can't wait to see what Ford does to counter attack the ZL1.
Personally I don't think Ford has really done much to promote the Mustang over the last few years. I would like to see more tv commercials for it. I think that could be one reason the Camaro outsells it each month.

As for auctions.....I can't believe what some of these cars are selling for...CHEAP!!!
I guess it's another sign of the bad US economy. Still shaking my head at some of the prices. The people selling them must be taking huge losses, they have to have far more money invested then they are getting back at auction.

Thursday usually sells a lot cheaper. I don't think that the big buyers make it to Vegas until Friday or Saturday. That Thursday always has really good deals.

If your referring to particular models of the mustang such as the BOSS, GT, GT500 I agree with you. But when the 2011's first rolled out I can't even tell u how many times I saw the charcoal grey v6 mustang commercial, it was literally on all the time.

LOL, yeah, they should state the '12 GT500

The ZL1 sold for $250k.

Crap photo, but awesome car (just not as awesome as the '12 GT500 and, I suspect, not nearly as awesome as the '13 GT500 )

What did the past Mustangs sell for (GT500 and Boss)? I hope they at least equaled the bid on the ZL1

IMO same could be said for the Shebly only it's got less HP.
The only car IMO that is uglier than the GT500 is the nissan Juke.
