And it proves that a track car will always get beat by a car that is simply better built. GM went to extra lengths in building the ZL1. It is a well balanced machine. More so than anything Ford has. Sure it made compromises to negate the extra weight and such. But end of the day it proved to be a superior car.

Here you go again. You act like they built the R in response to the 6th Gen ZL1. The R beat the Z28 at both turning and acceleration so it did its job at the time for less money (as you constantly point out). It getting run down in the straights by a car that came out after it doesn't prove anything except that GM knew what they needed to build to beat it, and they did, barely with the ZL1 (until the ZLE). Hence, the new GT500. We'll see what happens.
Why don't you ever question GM for the high price of the Z28, which got beat by the less expensive R?
