Any chance the tune on the ZL1 was a little too aggressive?

That was obviously an acknowledged pass me maneuver. Most people who ate getting acquainted with a track and aren't as fast as the people around them pull to the side for faster drivers to pass them.

I've seen vipers get passed by guys in bolt on s2000's. It says more that the driver recognized they're experience on the track isn't enough to attempt to hold position. Classy drivers let others go by if they feel the others have a faster line/car/more experience.

Nothing embarrassing to me. Cheers.

The way that ferrari took off on the straights and the sound was intoxicating.

Looked like old computer racing games, and when you finally get the final car it just takes off and handles on a rail!

The Challenger 392 should beat both the GT500 and ZL1 because its more comfy than both put together.

Yeah, I agree. The SRT8 is very comfortable, and there is more room in the back for passengers too.

As far as comfort between the ZL1 and the GT500 though, I always thought the Recaros were pretty damn comfortable.
