500 lb weight difference between the two so it won't be too far away. Interested to see how that new 5.8L performs since Ford is a big proponent on smaller motors making big power.

2 totally different cars. 500lbs. is a lot in a performance car.

THIS, there is no way that the GT500 will come close to outperforming the ZR1. They are two completely different animals. If Ford made another Ford GT, and put that motor in it, that would be a ZR1 fighter.

In a straight line, you might be surprised. With the SRA and gearing changes, the GT500 should be pretty damn close down the 1/4.

I'm talking more overall performance

This, as far as handling is concerned and every other aspect, I completely agree that the ZR1 would hand the GT500 it's ass.

The Vette's IRS is the best available. I don't think the SRA is much of a factor. The weight and tires will more than make up for the 14 extra HP in the GT500.

SRA>IRS for drag racing. The S197 platform is superior to the Corvette from a drag racing standpoint. I think it will be a close drag race even with the extra weight.

The Vette's IRS has shown very capable of going down the 1/4 mile. SRA is better than IRS but the Vette's IRS is about the best set-up you can get. I don't see much of an advantage going to the GT500 and all is lost in weight and narrow tires. Put both on a DR and I still think the Vette can pull as good of a 60' as the GT500 and pulls ahead through the front half and the GT500 hangs at the big end but doesn't gain much. Obviously this is all bench racing.

nice. all chevy needs to do now is make a 660hp camaro in 2014 and then we'll see the 2015 gt500 with 700hp and so on...

I'd rather see a cobra/camaro with 500hp and weigh 3000lbs plz.

I think the ship sailed on the under 3,000 pound ponycar.
