Reading comments on youtube.com is like looking through a window pane into the idiot asylum. Every single video, no matter what the topic, has a multitude of idiotic comments.

It's amusing to say the least. When the Camaro ZL1 is clearly out of its league, it spawns the "We have the Z06/ZR1" comments.

That speaks volumes for the 2013 GT500 when you have Corvette guys starting to defend their platforms.

I agree :burnout:

:rockon:

Great thing about that video is if you listen closely at the beginning the car sounds like a jet as it starts to approach the camera....

they announced that top speed run on an episode last week, with the whole running from the cops gimmick. Cant wait to see, it sounded nasty as it passed by!

and yes, youtube must be where all the chevy fanboys hangout....lulz at the " we have the Z06/ZR1" comments

I find it flattering when everyone compares the Mustang to the Vette, but I've always wondered why they never compare the Camaro to the Vette. :lol1:

Unicorn? They are every where! Lol but I got what your saying. It's cool to see "a little mustang" compared to the vettes :). Not so little anymore now huh :))

Not all of us are defending!

Some of us will be buying a GT500.

I have always been a Chevy guy, but Ford deserves credit for what it is doing. Not only the GT500, but the Explorer, Edge and other platforms all are very nice built cars.

I will proudly put the GT500 next to the ZR1 in my driveway.

It makes me wonder why some of us end up chevy vs ford guys. We should just enjoy great built cars, and this is a good time to be a car fan.

And that's with Ford's stupid ugly intake silencer, remove that and replace it with the $50 FRPP (factory looking) delete tube and it will let every last bit of the new 5.8L's sweet sound be heard all the way to 7,000rpm at 14psi. :rockon:

very first mod im doing is that resonator delete...i might actually order it before the car arrives. By all accounts the intake is exactly the same on this one as with the 10-12 models :beer:

Well you have nut hugger Ford/Chevy people IMO. I like fast cars/trucks period but there are always the people who will defend "their" brand no matter what.
