Not to cause any more confusion: my comparo is manual to manual as tested by Randy. Albeit he actually did improve his laptime eventually with an auto
Bottom line media folks lamenting that zl1 is nose heavy while testing a manual is a crock and even Randy immediately disputes this notion. A blower doesnt weigh 200lb yet some folks use it "liberally" as the weight difference and further speculate all of it is in the front. If we gonna use specific numbers then lets be factual including just how much of it sits on the nose (to your comment about the auto tranny sitting more midship, etc). Cheers!
