The funny part is you really believe this.

Im saying a best mag time of around 11.5@123mph

Nope Evan Smith is the best driver out there and he got a 12.2 and then a hero run of 11.8. GM engineers got a 11.9 and they are NOT pro drivers

There is a Mustang guy at the track right now watching the passes and getting the info from the SVT engineers. My GOD dude what other proof do you want?

So Evan Smith made two runs and he's done? How do you know that 11.8 is a hero run? How do you know he isn't going to go 11.6 on his next run? What's the DA there? How do you know he isn't trying to get the best run on launch control before he starts running without it?

You're making a lot of assumptions.

And what have you got for the ZL1's first media event times? 13.5 and 13.6. You just can't accept it, can you? Why?

If you think that is anywhere near all that car has, you are pretty naive......

You know what the best non-corrected time for the ZL1 at Inde was? Around 12.6. Looks like you're saying the WORST non-corrected time for the GT500 so far is 12.6, and then saying it's a driver's race.

Is that logical?

The ZL1 was being run on a dusty, cold track in AZ in the middle of the winter. the Shelby is being run at a prepped drag strip down south in the spring. When GM ran the ZL1 at a drag track (without a pro driver) they got a non corrected 11.9 run. The Shelby is clearly faster in the 1/4 mile, but not that much better, and I am not even going to go into the fact Ford did not release its Ring times.

This is proving to be an entertaining thread.

There you go. Take it easy, let reality slowly creep in, it's better that way. Let me know when you go to the ring to prove your ZL1 is faster than a GT500, I will ship both my GT500 and ZL1 there and I will show you my tail lights there too.

I would loose in a Aventador on a track :( . But hey you have the best of both worlds you will have the track king (ZL1) and a good 1/4 mile car the (the Shelby) its a win win.

There is going to be a lot of hurt feelings and deleted threads/comments here this summer

[BATMAN!]

Who gives a flying f about a stupid ass ring NONE of you lady's will ever see so shut it already. Really no one gives a rats ass.

If those trap speeds are correct that car has a lot more in it.
