Cool. Can't see the video at the office. Did the ZL1 do well? or get destroyed by the GT500?

It won the track event lost everywhere else.. Blame it on the tires!
Some posted a video of the A gt500 losing to a OEM Kong blower, headers, and CAI on FB this morning.. So I guess with 4k in mods you would win all around in the 1le.

Why would Ford send a GT500 on spent tires? Now that is all we are going to hear is why it didn't do better. Randy did say it would of won, but it was mostly due to the extra 110hp as it was 10mph on the straights.

Throttle House typically uses owner supplied cars.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda...but did it? LOL!
Like I said, the GT500 needs every advantage in it's favor to win. Take away just one advantage and it loses. Meanwhile the ZLE wins even when every disadvantage is stacked against it. HAHA!! ZL1: 2 wins, 1 loss. Redeye: 1 win, 2 losses. GT500: 0 wins. Ouch. |

BTW, if the tires were that worn then it would have gotten destroyed on the quarter mile. It definitely wouldn't have run consistent with what MT ran. And it would not have beaten the RE on tires worn that badly. |

Who the hell brings a brand new $94K car with a track package to a track to be tested against it's long time rival on worn out tires? Exactly how many miles were on the car that those tires were that worn? What was he doing, burnouts every 2 miles?

As I predicted...
For a dual overhead cam, large blower with carbon fiber wheels and a friggin DCT, the GT500 could not beat the time of the ZL1 1LE that was drivin on a track by a professional race car driver. It lost by 2 friggin seconds... No wonder Ford did not market a video of the GT 500 on the green hell with a video. Yup, the GT 500 is a $90000 one trick pony that is designed to separate the delusional from their money... |

I really expected the GT500 to be a world class super car killer. I have to say that I am a bit disappointed with the offering. Maybe we are just spoiled with the manufacturer wars but I expected more.
