Boss 302 was the motivation, not the ZL1

[QUOTE="Nathan'sTsi, post: 11277239, member: 14187"] I don't think you are 100% right. It wouldn't make much sense marketing wise to realse two revamped Mustangs in the same year that would compete with each other for sales. Also, it was all over the forums when the boss was introduced that people felt it was the superior car, and thje GT500 was just too expesnsive and over rated. The 2013 was already under development at that time and the TVS was already accepted to be part of the deal. To me, it makes more sense to let the Boss enjoy the limelight and all of the posative press, and then hold the GT500 for when the General tries to steal the limlight form the Boss. It was made clear that they did not want GM to steal any thunder with the ZL1's announcement. Now, I am sure the ZL1 was discussed through some of the development, but in the begining of the 2013's development, the "z28" was on again and off again for months at a time due the GM's financial woes. I believe it was more centered around WHEN they would offer and announce the GT500 as opposed to what it would include. [/QUOTE]
