Since tone is hard to decipher on forums, none of this is to come of as hostile/aggressive lol.
Who mentioned tires? I am asking becuase I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere other than over at 6G. I didn't see it mentioned in the C&D article or the jalopnik article. Who mentioned the suspension? I am legit asking because I haven't seen anything from Ford that mentioned those things. the closest I saw to that was that they want the car to excel at the strip and track.
And lets just put this in hypotheticals since the car isn't out yet, if it beats all the cars its supposed to on the strip and the track would you still call it a failure because it doesn't have the fastest top speed? That sounds like a middle school argument if you ask me.
Some of the courses people love to talk times about the most here:
Ring
VIR
Laguna Seca
None of those course did the ZLE hit 180, closest it came is 173 IIRC on the ring and the regular ZL1 hit 181. At VIR I think the top speed hit was like 145, and maybe 125-130 on Laguna.
Stock ZL1 at a standing mile hit 174, stock hellcat also hit 174 and a demon hit 181. (Times pulled from texas mile youtube, cars are listed as stock)
So if it's legit that they didn't hit 180 while chasing their goals and in testing so they just capped it at 180 that is fine with me.
BUT if its like you are guessing, that they cut corners or its not stable past 180 then yeah I would be concerned a little. Again, I am more interested concerned in the WHY than the actual cap.

If the One that is capped to 180 is the Regular GT500, then the Carbon TP (The One that goes against the ZLE) Will be far less of that speed
