LOL!!! Nice

The 'Ring, IMO, has become the benchmark of overall car performance. I won't pretend to suggest I'll ever go there, let alone get close to consistantly pushing ZL1 to it's limits, however, it's another point to benchrace, which is a lot of what this particular hobby/obsession is about. I think it's great that it's going there, and it would seem to me this is where they're going to establish it's fast times. We know it's been there before, so it seems to me they're probably pretty comfortable with their powertrain and chassis systems and are ready to put their money where their mouth is.

I've been thinking, despite the mass of CAMARO, that it's on a superior chassis to the Mustang. With ZL1 being considerably down on power and having more weight, I'm wondering what all it's technology will do to keep it competitive. If there was a measure of the quality of the car, and justification for it's weight, I think we've come to the point to where we're either going to see a payoff or maybe find a little disappointment in some cases.

Personally - I think it's going to be pretty tough. My decision won't be swayed by the results though
