Might be an idea. Maybe look at a white one and you won't have to clean quite so much.

Just seen a commercial for the ZL1 talking about its ingenuity and how much effort went in to it. Ford should make a commercial for the GT500 and buy the commercial time right after the ZL1 commercial.

That would be too funny. Maybe show some track footage of the GT500 spanking the Camaro in it.

The Mustang is supposed to be completely new for 2015 is what I'm told. Of course they won't let too much info leak now as they don't want the current sales to suffer.

For Mustang fans, you’re welcome. Clearly the Camaro has encouraged Ford to throw everything they can at us.
Is this guy living under a rock? Isn't GM playing catch up? The GT500 has been making 500+ hp since it came back in to production in 2007, heck the current GT500 makes only 10hp less than this mythical ZL1 Camaro.

The days of “no replacement for displacement,” are over,
Took them long enough to get tired of getting beat by Mustangs with considerably smaller engines than their own. Yet they still have a 6.2L V8.
