GT500 vs Hennessey Camaro video on youtube... anyone seen this?
They compare a stock 2010 GT500 to an aftermarket Hennessey Camaro SS and the GT500 still wins out! Too bad GM put the Z28 back on the shelf lol...

Hmmm...so they're comparing an aftermarket tuner car to a factory stock one. They should've compared that POS Camaro to a Super Snake.

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

IDK what series it is on Speed channel all the time but they are racing FR500s against Corvettes, BMWs and Porsches and the FR seems to kick their asses big time. Always see the FR passing them in corners and such.

I am an IRS fan, have been since my first Vette and more so when I went from a Live axle Cobra to an IRS one. On a track though a properly tuned SRA can achieve the same grip levels as an IRS at a lighter weight.
The IRS shines on ruff surfaces when it can keep both wheels planted better. So on the street the IRS is the better choice with all the road variables but its a different story on the track.
Hell, the new GT out handles the Camaro and Challenger as well. Has a higher cornering load (.96 I believe) and was faster through the slalom.

just my .02
