You’ve been riding Blaq’s ass for making the exact same observation that Car & Driver did.
The ZL1 1LE is “simply a better value” and “ZL1 1LE manages to match or surpass the Shelby's performance while offering a much longer list of features”

He has been awful quiet since the GT500's spanking. I think he went back to his home forum to console his buddies.

How's it compare to other similar cars? Just wondering and thanks for the info

I have not noticed any body roll at all. It has been pretty much point and shoot, like you said. If anything, at high speed cornering, the tires might give out if going too fast or if they are cold. But that's about it. Now I'll have to drive mine to see for myself.

We have been saying all along that they better really bring it at $94K, and honestly it fell on its face in this comparison.
While I don't get excited about fake badges trying to conjure a time that is long over, I can see the allure it has for some and don't knock that. I dont see these cars as real Shelbys in the end of the day tbh, they are just a Ford product with a badge on it.
All that said..........you can get that badge without the CFTP, so if it isn't faster than a ZLE, then what the hell is the point in spending $94K when you get so little for it in comparison?

Yup! Even shaffe said that winning against the ZLE alone would not be enough...the 500 would have to win in a convincing manner and by a large margin to justify it's worth. And it didn't do that.
Maybe they can have their engineers work after hours and off the clock in another 6 years and cook up an even higher version GT500...GT500 CF-2! Maybe then they'll beat the ZLE.
