I'm not ignoring it at all. In fact, that hard data is CENTRAL to my point. The GT500 was faster then. The GT500 is improving even more. Yet you say it won't be any faster. So you're saying Ford...

I'm not sure why you equate stating the truth as hate. And no, I'm not talking about the rev limiter guy, he didn't even run that fast. One of the mags reported a 12.6, and another a 12.9. I can't...

So the Ford should be "twice as fast" with twice as much horsepower, but the ZL1 shouldn't? The point is that "twice the HP = twice as fast" is completely ridiculous. Saying it over and over is...

The 1993 V6 Camaro ran 16.6 in the 1/4 with 160 horsepower. Shouldn't the 580 horsepower ZL1 be almost 4 times as fast? Why isn't the ZL1 running 4s in the 1/4? Okay, at least 6s. Okay, 9s. ...

Not unless they've revised the rule book in the last month. Last time I looked the LSA CTS-V was eligible for none of those classes.

The GT went up by $590 and for that you get HIDs, track apps, 8 more HP, and a new front and rear end. What did the Camaro get? I'd pay 590 for the HID and track apps alone.

It pulled on it in 7 corners.



Uh, what do you think the point is? Last time I checked when you're racing you start equal.

If you want to talk telemetry, the Boss pulls on the ZL1 in all the tighter, more difficult corners. And while were talking telemetry, why does the ZL1 START the lap going 7 or 8 mph faster?

The ZL1 isn't even faster than the 2012 GT500. No one that's tested it has beat the better GT500 times, and GM was afraid to run against Ford on a tight track that would show the ZL1s extreme weight.
