That's odd. Seems like a slow 0-60 and a slow quarter mile. But he achieved over 200mph?

Eric.
Don't make sense to me.
Generally big trucks on big tires going fast tend to feel like they are going faster than they are simply because the speed has an exaggerated affect on the vehicle due to the counter-productive nature of big truck features (when trying to go fast).
Frankly, I have my doubts.
That said, I've never done 160mph (just close and in a few different cars).

Are we reading the same comparison?
Seems like the testing area was low on grip, that explains the high 0-60 times for both cars.
I'm not understanding why Edmund's is trumpeting the gearshift of the Camaro as a marquee of superior practicality when the visibility and gas mileage are both horrid.
Also this:
... In regards to the GT500 hitting 60 in first gear.
I believe that there are dozens of cars on the market that do this including the Corvette and Viper. It's a common practice for performance cars with a traditional stick-shift
I'll defer to Edmund's experience as far as handling goes, but I'm going to withhold judgment until we get a real track test. Skidpad numbers have always been fairly meaningless.
At least one thing is clear, the Shelby needs better rubber. It weighs 250lbs less but only manages to stop 1 foot shorter? For shame.
