Most likely the ZLE will match or beat the CF GT500. It won't have the HP deficit that the C8 Z51 had. And it should handle just about the same if not better. I don't see how it won't make up for that lost time and then some. I'd say both cars will be matched about evenly in the quarter mile and just about evenly on the track. But considering the comments made about how the ZL1 beat the GT350R only because it had more HP, the fact that the GT500 enjoys a HP boost over the ZLE should mean that the Z should stand no chance at all. The only remaining question will be if the Shelby does manage to win, or if it can only match the Z, or if it loses, then is that level of performance worth the extra $20K+. Most of us think that the Shelby would have to destroy the ZLE in order to justify the price.
