Think about that. The Zl1 is a full 1/4 mile ahead of a GT on the fast list. A full 1/4 mile ahead. In 1 lap!!!!!!!!!! 4 lap race and the Zl1 is lapping the GT. So, their arguments, whatever they may be will fall flat.

Exactly. And it was even more hilarious when they started trying to target Hellcat owners.

But then you come out with something like the PP2? Why? "To give customers a more thrilling experience"?
But... you put very wide Michelin Sport Cups on the car, go through the effort to completely retune the vehicle dynamics (ABS/TC/Stability/MRC), tweak the chassis/suspension (bracing and bushings) and lower the car a fair amount (with new springs). That's all a lot of effort and money just to offer "a more thrilling experience".
GTFO.
You could accomplish the same thing by just throwing on the GT350 springs (the PP2 are essentially that; I'm talking literally here), utilizing the GT350 MRC cal, using the GT350 tires (Pilot Sports/PS4; wider than PP1) and then, maybe offer some alternate wheels.
No, there was a higher goal here. A car or lap time was targeted. And... perhaps, somewhere along the way, in development, it was found that this "PP2" thing that was being developed as a skunk-works, was looking to be able to perform better than the GT350...

So they're not trying to keep up with the SS 1LE with the GT PP2 yet they're running around saying "Venom kills Demons", LOL! I find that laughable. So they aren't going after the SS 1LE but they ARE going after a 1 year production only Demon that will be 2 years old and out of production before the GT500 even hits...

Quite honestly, I would not be upset if it does beat the SS 1LE nor would I be surprised. If it doesn't beat it then it will be close enough that it remains a driver's race.
