Torsen is NOT a "magic pill" like MRC, and putting down all 600 rwhp on corner-exit, regardless of who you are, will NOT be an "easy" exercise.

Having 600 rwhp that you cannot adequately apply makes the car more difficult to drive in that manner. Having 500 rwhp that you can properly apply (with a faster cornering AND corner-exit speed, thanks to MRC) will not only make the ZL1 "easier" to drive but "quicker" as well.

In drag racing terms, there'll be a LOT more "pedalling" goin' on in the 500's cabin than the ZL1's, on a road course regardless of length. The "slower" the course, the worse the disparity, so forget those Walmart parking lots...

Autocrossing a GT500? SVT emphasized such activity in THEIR own press release. Good luck with that.

"Time" will tell...

Where did Ford emphasize autocross? This is the second time I have seen you say that. Last time I asked you to provide the press release and. . . nothing.
