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.
Thanks for making my point, both are high capable vehicles, but a 1LE and the ZL1 would beat the boss and the GT500 on a road course at a lower price point to boot. While it seams the GT 500 would probably beat the ZL1 in a straight line and have respectable performance at the track. The question is do you want a track car or a drag strip car as the main priority.
