GT500, 'maro or Bimmer...which one depends on how I felt that day. Awesome... Edgy...or Refined. All great rides.

I'll take the 335i, luxury and decent power, gotta love it.

Nice, but still way underpowered.

easily the gt500....2010 will have the 07-09 kr engine rating making 540hp....

2002 Camaro SS: 3500lbs & 325hp; 10.77 Lbs/hp
2003 Mustang Cobra: 3665 & 390hp; 9.40 Lbs/hp

2010 GT500: 3900lbs & 540hp; 7.22 Lbs/hp
2010 Camaro SS: 3900lbs & 426hp; 9.15 Lbs/hp

So in this simple comparison, the new cars SHOULD be faster than their previous counterparts. Also, the SS should be a damn good race with a stock cobra with equal drivers. We'll see.

2008 Nissan GT-R: 3830Lbs & 478hp: 8.01 Lbs/hp. New GT500 should take it if its not from a dead stop.

Gearing also depends man. a lot of variables
