2013 GT500. Do want.
Just got back from the L.A. Auto show. Went to go see the Boss 302 first (little lady loves that car) and wondered aloud "why would you choose a GT500 over this car?"
Then I went and looked at the GT500.
Aluminum block 5.8, TVS2300 blower, 15 psi. Carbon Fiber Driveshaft, Boss suspension essentially, 15 inch (!) Brembos, 650hp/600tq. THE most powerful regular production V8 in the world, and some bitchin quad exhaust tips! Its also a good bit lighter than the old GT500s.
This thing will just slaughter any camaro at anything (c'mon camaro guys, you can admit it, its okay.), beat a Z06 in a straight line, and surprise a lot of people in the twisties. My newest car on the "own before I die" list.

I think I'd prefer the BOSS as a better all arounder.

Me too, i thought it was funny they kept talking about the new shelby at 550hp not 650hp. Dude was a douche bag IMO

the one on the dyno was a 2012. not a 2013. so it WAS 550hp. 
Forgot to add, it now has launch control (Yes!) electronically adjustable bilsteins (from the cockpit) and a torsen rear diff. This thing is going to be a monster. I lusted after the boss more than any car in recent memory, but even I have a hard time seeing how its going to be better...It may corner just a bit better, but id hazard a guess that the shelby will be faster around most any track. |

Im hoping it was a douchey error and he was just reading queue cards... I think, if I am interpreting it correctly, that it has a different ratio lsd...
