Um, people buy the Zl1 1LE to track. Not to street race. So, you are wrong there. I didn't dismiss a thing. I actually said.........if the 500 doesn't handle the Zl1, which is it's competitor, not the 1LE, then they failed. I expect the 500 to handle the Zl1 it's ass. If it doesn't, then Ford flopped..........again.
The 500 will NOT be a track focused car. So, therefore, it won't even sniff the 1LE on the track. As I mentioned. Read.....fundamentals my friend.
The 500 will be a straight line one trick pony and I don't even think it will out track the Zl1. Well, if it comes prepped with the A10 and has all 350R suspension goodies and carbon wheels, then it should smack the Zl1. But, again, you are looking at a $100k 500 vs a $60k Zl1, so. At the price point, the 500 needs to line up with the ZR1. And lord knows, the ZR1 will beat it down. Does the cost justify the means? Just me personally. But, it should. That's the point. If it doesn't, it's a failure.
Now...........If Ford can actually get it together and pull out this 500 as I hope they will. I will be buying one. Again, the ADM will keep me out of the market. But, dreaming here. If it's A10 equipped. Can handle around the track and can run a 10.9 to 11.4 quarter and can come in at the $75k ish price point. I'm all in. I'd gladly let my Zl1 go. haha. Cus either way, if I get my hands on one, it's going to get modded regardless.
