This video is a good comparison of the two cars, and it makes one very important point: the cars are very good at what they do. The ZL1 has its benefits, as does the GT500. If you're looking for a riveting experience, you're probably more likely to find it in the Shelby. If you're looking for faster lap times, you're more likely to find it in the ZL1.

Unless, of course, you give your Shelby tires that have section widths of 3cm larger than the OEM's.

Hi Gus...

Thank you for the video. I watched it several times now. I really like his excitement when driving the Shelby. Wow, that car is a Monster...

Did you get me private message? Has the weather warmed up to drive the Shelby around?

I hope to get the car in August. I am learning so much about the car it is amazing...

Take care, Jooseph...

I agree with kco about the comparison. But the reason I like it so much is like vegas said, the excitement he's totally loving driving the shelby! A lot a reviews you can tell how exciting driving the car is. Even Randy Probst got excited. Here's another good one make sure to watch till end.
. Yes I got your pm Joseph thanks and thank your family for the kind words!!

Congrats VegasGold. Mine is stuck at the dreaded Ramp 51. Mine only has to go 40 miles so hopefully they decide to put it on a truck very soon. My first ETA was last Friday, but got bumped to this Friday. If it doesn't make it by then I may have to go steal it this weekend. Make sure you post lots of pics!!!!

Good luck to you...I will be watching the news of a break and enter...Ha.Ha..I am sure you will get it soon. The last few days is the hardest to wait.

Very exciting time for both of us. After you get your Shelby and drive it for a while, update me and I will do the same...Just wondering if we feel the same way. Remember you have to drive 5 miles before the supercharger kicks in or so many starts. I am sure we will both be at the 5 mile mark when we pick up the cars....Joseph...

WOHO! That is wonderful!

Speaking of supercharger....when my husband a I brought our Shelby home we were halfway home and my husband was driving it home. He pulled off the road and I followed him. He said that something was wrong because the supercharger was not engaged. He said the 07' Monte Carlo SS with the 5.3 would beat it! lol We went back to town and yeah 5 consecutive miles later before we hit town he down shift to second, stomped the gas and walked the car sideways. He was like yeah, it's working now! lol

Glad you love your Shelby! Can't wait to see pictures!

Question

VegasGold, glad to hear your GT 500 arrived safely. I can feel your excitement on my keyboard. I am looking forward to the day my GT 500 arrives. Good to hear there is another GT500 owner out there. The more the merrier.

Ugh I'm so jealous you ordered it exactly like I would, all black FTW! I can't wait to see pictures of this beast. The 2013+ GT500 is the reason I decided to stop spending money on my 2007 GT. I have a hard time spending money on a GT when I know it will never be a GT500. In the meantime, I will keep enjoying what I already have.

Congrats!

That's awesome Joseph. Keep me updated as you break her in. Mine hit the dealer tonight and is coming home tomorrow.
