Everyone keeps talking about the zl1 won in 1/4 but they show one drag race where the guy left a second later than everyone else. Guess everyone forgot about this video.

Ok hurt feelings, in a debate on performance it kinda shows how far behind Ford is when their argument has to turn to sales. LOL!! How exactly is it a bad thing for the consumer when, for less than MSRP which was already $20K cheaper, we can get a car that beats the snot out of a $94K 760 HP GT500 that Ford spent the last 6 years building? Yea we all here are soo very upset that we're getting the best performance value of the decade at MSRP for less than MSRP. I just wish the ZL1 sold more and dealerships charged more for them and we had to pay MSRP and try to get a "golden ticket" to buy one. Woe is me...
And here is some salt for your wounds...that race was not based on time Sherlock. It was based on who could get from point A to point B the fastest. Remember how your buddy GSJ, before he got himself kicked outta here, kept insisting that on the streets the GT500 was gonna beat the ZL1? Well that was what that test was trying to replicate...exactly what would happen on the street. And the GT500 got beat. They raced again off the track but on what looked to be a service road of some sort. It looked like an abandoned street next to a highway. They raced both cars and the GT500 STILL lost.
In fact, the GT500 in this entire test won at nothing. The RE won the roll race, the ZL1 won the quarter mile distance race, the ZLE won around the track, the GT500 won at...being the most expensive...oh and making excuses.
