"One Trick Pony" comes to mind...for SURELY you'll agree the GT 500 stands ZERO chance on a roadcourse vs. the "underpowered/traction-limited/over-weight" ZL1...right? After all, the GT 500 at 550 hp, its stable-mate the BOSS LS kicked its hiney @ VIR...and the lowly under-$40K 1LE beat the Best-handling BOSS...and the ZL1 tramples 'em ALL!

What the Camaro needs is some REAL competition...not some hobby-horse pretend-a-car with the influences of one very old chili-peddler...

Bring 'er to VIR, and let the clocks decide...
I havent been keeping up with the 1LE as much as I should because if it turns out to be a better raodcourse car, I will forego my ZL1 pruchase and get a 1LE instead. So, my question is, is it a fact that the 1LE has run vs the Boss or your claim is just based on simulations? By the way, after a few laps, a NA car will eventually catch and pass a FI car due to heat soak. Boss and 1LE will spank a ZL1 and GT500 on a roadcourse if they are run more than a couple of magazine laps.
