CAMARO6 - View Single Post - ZL1 vs GT350R head to head on Motortrend!

Looking at the comments on Facebook pages and different forums, it seems to me that a lot of these GT350R owners are really stung by what happened in this shootout. I kinda would be too. I mean, paying for a more expensive car, then paying anywhere from $5K to over $25K over MSRP, just for the ZL1 to come out at a lower MSRP with no added on costs and literally wipe the floor with them. I would be pissed off too. And all the things they're saying to justify what happened, lol!!

Here are some laughs for you guys...

"Oh well the fact that the GT350R lost by only 0.39 seconds shows a win for Ford and that Chevy failed"...because winning a race equals failure which I guess team Ford is well known for.

"Oh just wait for the ZL1's real competition, the GT500"...yea and if it does beat the ZL1 then what does that say about the GT350R? LOL!! And is it even coming out at all? If it does, how much over MSRP are they gonna pay for that? If they don't pay ADM, then that means these guys just paid over $80K for a car that a year or so later got upped in performance by a cheaper car. Lose-lose if you ask me.

"I can get a ZL1 for cheap and well below MSRP but a GT350R is nowhere near that price"...so these guys are bragging that they're paying way more for an inferior car that gives you less.

"A car is much more than what the ZL1 can give you". These guys bought a bare bones, stripped down, race car that got beaten by the ZL1 and matched by the 1SS 1LE all coming standard with more options than the GT350R has and yet they're talking about the car offering more??

This is just some of the things I read. I think that these guys were really hoping that somehow the GT350R would win on the track. And they under-estimated the ZL1. I think they wanted to boast and trash talk but got stung. And it sucks. I actually feel bad for them. Paying THAT much for a car and then paying well over MSRP and hoping it would be the top dog just for it to get matched and beaten by the SS 1LE and ZL1 (respectively) has got to make you feel bad about your purchase. And there is still no word on the GT500. I don't think it looks good for the Ford camp and it seems like they're bitter about it.
