The
2013 GT500 was recently tested on a dyno and put 609 HP at the rear
wheels, which means the actual horsepower at the flywheel is estimated
between 675 and 715...
The
ZL1 joins the 11-second club and is considered a great wll-rounder.
Thanks to its high-tech magnetic-ride suspension, it turned a 7:41
time at the Nürburgring.
The
heavier SRT-8 is the least powerful of the bunch, but it's also the
least expensive. It simply can't compete with the leaner Mustang and
high-tech Camaro. It is a great cruiser with lots of style.
