Motor Trend tested at 11.5. Car and Driver mentioned 11.7. The day after Hennessey ran his zl1 12.5 at 116 Ford went 11.5 at 125 in the gt500. What else do you want?
perfect example of what I am talking about.

hennessy ran 12.5 in an auto car on a different track. ford ran 11.5 in a manual at a different track. 11.8 was the best time at the press day with camera's rolling but 11.5 is it now offical time.

so now accoding to the internet the GT500 is 11.5 car and the ZL1 is a 12.5 car.

in reality the GT500 is probably a consitant 11.7-11.8 car and the ZL-1 is 12.0-12.1 in the manual but the people like above compare apples vs oranges and get 11.5 to 12.5. ha ha

this is whay internet racing is gay. line up them up side by side manual vs manaul I would like to see it.
