Do you like knowing that your car isn't the best it can be, because GM doesn't care how much horsepower other cars are making?

You're the one claiming that the only people that like horsepower are the ones that can't drive through turns.

Would it make a massive difference? No. Would it make some difference? Probably.
Many (including the automotive press) would argue the ZL1 and SS are the best cars in the segment. Power does not equal performance and the three dimensional capabilities of the Alpha cars elevates them to world class.

ZL1>Hellcat>GT500. ZL1 equal to HC on the strip and GT350R on the track
SS>Scatpack>GT. SS is better in all areas of performance. Period.

Fair guess that the new GT500 is AOL because it can't match the ZL1 in three dimensions.
