Frankly, I don't think you'll ever see a "verified" 'Ring time for the GT500 coming forth from Ford whether or not they had a run that betters the ZL1's time. Other than to placate a few rabid fanboys who hang their hat on such a thing as a particular track time, what would it do for Ford? Like I stated earlier, unless they feel having a 'Ring time is going to help them or hinder them in making GT500 sales, what's the point in doing it? Of all the folks I have spoken to that are looking to purchase a ZL1 or GT500 this spring/summer, or that have commented on this board, not one of them has stated the 'Ring time as having had any part in their decision-making process.
I tend to agree with the points Rock36 made, myself.

You're the one getting bent out of shape.
But I'm glad we agree that the ZL1 set a good time.
Let's move on and leave it at that.
Anyway, all the arguments that apply to 'Ring times apply to 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. Most people can't launch the car properly to achieve these times and wouldn't do it anyway. You'd tear up the internals or get arrested if you tried to do that every day. What's important is whether YOU like the car, not some numbers in a magazine that can be easily fudged.
