Reminds me of the old gt500 vs zl1. It had a fast first lap, but kept losing each lap by a lot. The zl1 sustained lap times. So is it the same for this gt500?
I dont think it will be quite the same. Last Gen issue was brake fade right?

I think Ford got it right this time, and don't consider fast tire wear due to weight a problem to discount the car on.

Makes it way more expensive to track, but as long as the tires hold up I think the 500 will too.
