I could not find an auto ZLE, or M6 ZL1, but I did not look that hard. Maybe someone else can find and post those.

Overall the ZL1 hangs with both trims of the GT500 really well. Unless you're a die-hard Ford/Shelby fanboy, or someone who needs to have the "latest and greatest" I think after reviewing all of these tests it would be hard to justify the GT500 over the ZL1.

Good find, though most of this is info we already had from the gt500 vs c8 article, it does shed light and more detail on everything gt500 related.

I find the mph on the VIR straightaways particularly interesting since we discussed it to death and compared it to all other cars we had as reference. Turns the speeds of around 170 mph on the straight were 166mph, still very impressive but not quite the 170mph that would have put it in the very top of the elite.

I am surprised to hear their gripes with the launch control and the programming of the clutches. Perhaps that clutch dump style doesn't translate well on the streets but is probably optimal on a sticky prepped surface.
