Anyone else coveting a 2012 Boss 302 or Camaro ZL1?

Feel free to discuss anything NON-R/C related that is on your mind.

"Let's add some foul weather and see just how capable these things are on a surface other than dry pavement."

Come to CT, my co-worker occasionally drives his MB SL55 AMG in the snow. It's rwd, a little under 500hp (stock) and during the winter runs snow tires. He doesn't mind a light snowfall but has issues with getting the car salty.

Forget the Boss, what you need is the 2013 Shelby GT500. 650 HP, 600 ft-lbs. I'd drive that pig any day.

Other than that I will stay out of this one. Bottom line is all modern cars have gotten pretty damn good :wink:

P.S. how is your post a response to LTO's post?
Yes, it was in response to LTO's post...you totally butchered the quoting in your response, though. :mrgreen:

The red car the Challenger was chasing (more accurate description: being slowed down by) for the first 2/3 of the video was a Ferrari. I'd think the guy who posted this, and runs the Glenn Bunch website, would have a pretty good idea what he was driving against.

you believe everything you read and see on the internet :roll: :P :lol:

The "Ferrari" is an IMSA Camel Light car - A British built Spice chassis with a Ferrari engine. That does not make it a Ferrari :!:

And on another note that footage was of a Vintage practice session, who knows who was wheeling that Spice (possibly just some rich guy) and if they were just shaking it down? None the less, that Dodge creation is quite a monster 8)

In response to LTO, his main point was to compare cars in real world conditions and not on a dry smooth race track :wink:

BTW here is a real FERRARI

I would like the ZL1 myself. My dealer has an allocation and should be ordering one for the showroom soon. I can't wait to see one in person.
