Yes, a mild bolt-on, steep geared car runs a 13.2 with 150 shot. If you look after my time it says in caps N/A which equates to Naturally Aspirated. With a 150 wet shot on top of that I am quite confident in my little car(the kit is in the car but I wont fire until I crack a 12N/A). I do not know any Camaro, Mustang or Challenger that will be high 11s from the factory.

So....what's your point? Is your 11s car "from the factory"? And sorry if I didn't pick up that the 13.2 is without juice. Maybe you should change your signature and put the time that is REALLY worth bragging about on there. All those mods and still slower N/A than a STOCK LS1?

It's what they did to the tail lights that I hate the most. And the corners of the tail. Yuck.

Agreed, i'd much rather have something alot more subtle and body colored (or a minimal amount of black plastic)

I also dont car for the crapper blue and dread paint scheme on the above car . I much prefer the '10 cars in darker colors - the GT500 in kona blue especially with white stripes.

The front fascia has grown on me without the camo though, even if its a rip of a dodge truck. The wheels were a pleaseant change from the former GT500 fare.

Yes because every LS1 ever made has broken the 12 second barrier in stock trim! That is like saying lt1s are mid to upper 13 second cars from the factory and every 2v GT does the same.

MOST LS1 cars are low to mid 13 second cars. Drivers race for 95% of the LS1 cars out there.

All those mods...really? The car has very few actual parts that increase the hp. I am willing to bet my car puts down right about 250rwhp. Not bad for being so much less than the mighty LS1 cars. My suspension also consists of stock struts and shocks with cut eibachs and cut stock rears. I couldn't plant my car on hoosier slicks in its current state.



Back on topic:

I really like the GT500 front fascia compared to the GT and V6 variants. The rear taillights will require some form of aftermarket design to be acceptable in my book. For some reason I do like the rear bumper molding better now than the '05 design unlike almost everyone else.

I feel that in general, the 2010 Mustang does better exemplify the intent of the original Mustang concept from 2004, the *** end doesn't protrude like last years, and the overall asthetic is much more menacing. They also directly lifted the concept clear roof, though I'm curious just how they plan to explain anything higher than a 3-star rollover safety rating with that installed!

The Camaro to me just seems like a much more solidly built car, in structural rigidity and safety than most cars in this segment, save for perhaps the Challenger, and with what the Camaro will be capable of it stands to reason that it has more potential for success than any other car coming out in the forseeble future. IMHO of course.

There was another of the new 'stangs at Jax which as painted a color that should have remained dead in the 70's.

It was that gold color that shows no resemblence to the precious metal. It is more like tarnished brass. I didn't check if the carpets were green ****...

So now that we know the Camaro runs a 12.9 stock I bet the GT500 owners are shaking in their boots
