ZL1 1LE, kind of expected this

Phase 1 was the drag strip when HP won. But on the track with Randy Probst behind the wheel, Camaro shows it has the full and balanced package and.....spoiler alert......beats the GT500.

He said the Mustang was on a cooked set of tires and would have had a faster lap time if it wasn’t.

Coulda, woulda
Who said the Camaro was on fresh tires, btw? Plus it had the street and not the track alignment, which did hurt its lap time. Who knows what the result would've been.

If there's anything questionable to an outsider, it's the swapping of the regular ZL1 for the drag race, the other two cars were kept throughout. I understand why they did it, the 1LE is a very track-focused configuration the differences of which aren't matched on the other two platforms, but still, it may somewhat legitimately be objected to.

They raced the 2 on camera but it never made it into the episode, the 1le still won.

The Nurburghring? Ford refuses to take the car there, so as of right now I dont think there is a time.
