Realist I see... You do realize many people are getting these at list?
Where? I don’t think I e seen anyone saying they aren’t at least paying a few grand over msrp?

Just so we’re clear I couldn’t care less either way, I think both cars are going to be stellar.

Just search like 1 page in on threads, if that. There are a number of people, myself included, who got a deal at MSRP.

C8 0-60 2.8 495hp

2020 Shelby 0-60 3.3. 760+hp

Wait till zo6 & zr1s start hitting the street. Not trying to dog the GT500 but with AMD’s it’s over priced and still old tech compared to the Vette.

The only downside will be that the C8 Z06 will be starting at 100K for base and the ZR1 will be above 100K for base.
I can't wait to see what performance these machines bring.

If 0-60 is all important then yes. GT500 will destroy C8 base in 1/4 and on the ttack. Push rods are not new tech.

Vet is a beast with less than 500HP. cant imagine 250HP more.... or even 125HP.
that will improve 1/4 times considerably. looking forward to both their unveilings.

I’m referring to the suspension set up. I’m pretty sure with another hundred horsepower you only see the taillights of a C8 in 1/4 mile.

Don’t get me wrong the GT500 was a nice car. But similar to the 13-14 GT500 you can’t get all that power down to ground.

And I think it is way overpriced with the AMD’s.

To put that in perspective. For cost of 2020 GT500 with an AMD I could by 2020 c8 and have enough money left over to by a nice low mileage 13-14 GT500 and still be able to have a choice of 6 speed and Convertible.

I would be interested in seeing the math that you did to arrive at this conclusion.

First you’re not going to buy with any adm. Secondly the c8 nor the 13 500 will turn track times like the 20 500.

If you want fast straight line buy any car and add power.
If you want fast around corners get the c6/c7z or a gen 5 viper or 997T/GT3RS. But then again you’re heading into 6 figures again....

Where I live the dealers are charging between 10-20k over msrp.

It's ADM, not AMD. AMD is a computer processor company lol.

And I think out of all the discussions/arguments I see from both sides, the "GT500 is this much with ADM" has to be the most ridiculous argument. Demons had ADMs, 13 GT500 had ADMs, and I would be willing to bet other trim levels for the c8 will have an ADM too. Base model no, but probably the Z when it first releases, yea, probably will. Plenty of people on this forum have gotten their MY20 GT500 for MSRP. So can we stop using the ADM has a mark against the 2020?

You also have confusion between a bank ATM and the other type of ATM you see on the internet when the wife isn't watching your monitor from behind you..
