I've said from the beginning that the camaro chasis has the most potential for a track car and The mustang for the drag strip. Kudos to Ford but I'm still not seeing the mustang being faster than the ZL1 on a road course and the tech in the ZL1 is clearly geared for the tack first and the drag strip second while having a superior everyday ride quality than any mustang period. That's nothing to scoff at, the GT 500 imo is geared for the drag strip first and the road course second. Both are good but have different priorities. IMVHO..

most cars will be raced in a straight line. Thats the unavoidable truth. People have already taken their ZL1s to the strip but i dont know of any private owners taking them on the road courses.
and ford cares about "total performance" as well. All the makes do actually. Look at the mustang though, the 5.0 and boss are very capable track performers. The Boss is an excellent track car and is great on the strip as well. Last i checked (a few months ago) the baby brother Boss Mustang stock with only a tire were running 11.7's@117mph. Thats a good all round car if you ask me and not just a drag strip monster.
