2013 GT500 - 662HP/630TQ, 16city/24hwy, No GG Tax, 0-60 in 1st

[Guest]

2013 GT500 Reveal and Q&A with Jamal Hameedi & Jim Owens


Wow...... If they can manage to get this thing to actually hook and perform, watch out! It's even sitting around 3,850lbs -- so, right at manual SS weight.

That car is going to rape a lot of things.

I was reading over on C5 and SVTPerformance and both camps are somewhat in denial of what that thing will/should do.

0-60 in first gear... seems like tall gearing. Maybe they did that to help it hook?

Are there any simulations?

Also the Z06 and I believe ZR1 will hit 60 in first. I don't see how ford can avoid the GG tax yet the ZL1 and ZR1 are hit with it.

I don't understand the no GG tax either.
I also don't understand how they managed a 16/24 MPG rating!

Also FWIW, a CTS-V and a ZL1 will both hit 60 in first gear.
I know this to be true because I've done it in both.

I if it hooks it going to need a cage. Maybe a factory option!

Now that's something I'd love to see as a factory option.

I'm sure someone will take the 45th off your hands for a Corvette.

That Red/White combo is very nice, amazing numbers all around for sure.

[cab2g]

wow, I hope Chevy doesn't mind responding in kind for 2014... If they do, just imagine the HP bump the ZR1 would be getting.... Also... 16/24 MPG!!! amazing! wow! I know that shouldn't be important in a car like that, but still... that's what my car gets with 200+ less HP and torque!

But seriously. I am so glad to be of car buying age right now. There are SO MANY awesome options out right now. 70+ with more than 500 HP...Number of 500+HP vehicles on sale tops 70

with that said. I can't afford any of them right now. But still... There will always be used if I feel so inclined.

[Pro Stock John]

662hp is really impressive should run 10's stock.

But I prefer GM.

No GG tax because DOHC cars are easier to tune for MPG while keeping power everywhere.
If they would have gone with a VVT type of motor like the new 5.0 it may have done even better. Like PSJ said though, most people will not be cross shopping the Camaro/Mustang.
