But I would expect the ZL1 to be faster around the track than a 2012 GT500.

I don't think the 2012 GT500 is quicker than the Boss LS mustang generally speaking on a race track unless the track is full of long straights. The LS mustang has R-compound tires no back seat, front spliter etc... And very importantly don't have 57% of its weight over its front wheels and about 200lbs lighter than the GT500. On a somewhat short road course that the motortrend used the GT500 would have lost. The LS can put the power down much better in and exiting the corners, and the ZL1 is quicker than the LS. The 2012 GT500 dont run on r-compound tires, I don't see how it could hang with the ZL1 on that day of Motortrend test. Besides if they did test it against the GT500, then you would have people complaining that they didn't test it against fords best track car, the Boss LS Mustang. Hmmm dang if you do and dang if you don't situation imo.
