I don't know, should I trade in the Camaro on a new Cobalt SS or one of these?

It's still kind of sad that the are only getting 450HP out of it. I mean, 5.4L 32valve, supercharged V8 and they can only manage 450HP? Let's stop and think here for a minute, GM was making 405HP out of a production 16valve naturally aspirated 5.7L in the LS6. Same thing with the base "new" Mustang GT, they finally get 300HP after GMs been doing it since the mid 90s.
Still, it is nice to see Ford coming out with it, and overall it looks pretty good on paper. My two biggest concerns would be weight and price. Not that I'd buy one anyway, I'd prefer to stick with my Hawk or the 944 Turbo. Of course, it'll be hilarious to waste the first new GT500 to try to race me in the Turbo, since they will probably have about the same HP/lb ratio and the Porsche has better gearing. |
