 i saw this on another forum. very impressive on both of them, although i think the shelby has a better sound. i was shocked that it revved higher than the chevy though. sounded like the camaro hit rev limiter hard at 6k rpm.

 did you see this video? nardo ring? 200mph?  :devil

 he seemed mentally all there, but it made me sad to see a legend looking like he was having trouble just standing there.

You're shocked that a double overhead cam engine revved higher than a pushrod engine?

yea, based on the fact that chevy v8;s generally rev to the high heavens.........6k seemed way low to me on that.
