-Drifting is not what the gt500 is doing while lapping faster than the zl1.
-the 03 cobra's didn't snap axels with slicks installed. They snapped em with hard sidewall drag radials and 4k launches on stock bushings and shafts. Mine holds up just fine to 900whp and has aftermarket axels, bushings, shims, and a trutrac, but irs nonetheless.
-stop bringing up drifting. I can rally off 80,000 point laps on maple valley in Forza 4 with my s class drift 00 cobra r. Those laps are top 100 leader board scores out of 200,000 people. I also have a lowly a class 00 cobra r that has lap times in the top 500 out of 380,000 lap times on that same track. My drift laps are 9 seconds slower even though that setup has 215 more hp and weighs 300lbs less.
-my real car is a 900whp no traction control, no stability control 03 cobra and I can easily get into messy mid corner drifts; they are scary as fck and bring your heart beat up to 200 bpm. They are not the fastest way around a race track or corner.
I kept letting the drift vs finesse argument pass but I'm getting tired of it now. It's bullet car vs chassis car. Both handle well enough or have enough power to offset what the other makes as its stride.
