Is it ideal? No, it's not. Would it nice if it was lighter? Sure.

If only Government Motors made such a car? Lets just dream something up real quick...

Has to be light, so lots of carbon fiber and aluminum, throw in a dash of magnesium for some parts of the chassis structure. Smaller = lighter, so cut out a foot or so. Gunna need a lower center of gravity, so whamo, redesign the chassis. Powertrain is good, but maybe it needs a bit more power.
So what we want to build is an aluminum and magnesium space frame, wrapped in light weight materials, namely carbon fiber, powered by a supercharged 6.2 liter engine, massive tires and brakes, advanced MRC suspension, and lets add a decade or so worth of racing engineering and know-how learned from running in an International racing series. Sounds expensive....very expensive, so it will need the full luxury package: leather dash, navi, auto climate, heated seats, etc etc...Man, if they could just put that together, that would be the greatest thing ever...really would.

Camaro ZL1 benchmarks the GT500. Again, Camaro does not have to be, and should not be, everything to everyone.
It is heavy
It lacks features
It is hard for old people to look out of
It has big wheels old people hate

It has a cartoonish design
It will be owned by people that have a lot of money
It will be faster than 95% of the LT1's on this site
So old people that have money to afford the car, hate the car?

i spoke with chris at evolution performance and his 5.0 got 500 miles and blew up. now he built his up and its running 8's on stock block without problems.. I'm looking into having my built by them since there is 9 mustangs around my town that run great and have no problems.

yeah i do have money for my age. yeah no one is perfect and hasnt ****ed up. so what i put to much boost through my 88 fox body and blew the piston rings out.. you live and learn.

If any of you say you havent topped your car out or beat the balls off it you're lieing. so hop off my dick.
Hey.....roid rage......relax.....it was to prove a point. I don't care that you went 170+ on the street or broke your new mustang. I was merely using you as a quick example.
