I'm not sure if we will find out today. They may post several videos throughout the week leading up to the main video with the final results.

I'm hoping for a top 5 finish (but crossing my fingers for a win)

EDIT:
I'm watching MT On Demand now. Looks like the day 1 videos are the hot laps for the AMG GT S and M4 GTS
AMG GTS 2015 Lap time 1:35.57
AMG GTS 2016 Lap time 1:35.30 (New aero)
M4 GTS 2016 Lap time 1:37.66

Here is the article with some of the competitors (No 1LE yet)
http://www.motortrend.com/cars/merce...-ford-mclaren/

After reading about the AMG GTS, M4 GTS, GT350R, and McLaren 570S, I think the 1LE will beat all of them with the exception of the GT350R. Randy loves the GT350R and had no complaints about it. He had complaints about all the other cars.

With how much the editors loved the 1LE I think it will get win. Or at least be in the top 3 for sure.

I have a feeling the top 3 will be in no particular order: 1LE, GT350R, Viper ACR

Yet both Lago and Lieberman said the 1LE gets off the corner better than the GT350R!

OK, but did RP say that? I mean he is the only one of the three that is actually a race car driver. Not that the other two are not way above average, I'm sure they are. You know what would be cool? To see their hot lap compared to his.

I would be interested in that too...but they may not want the embarrassment.

We currently have no comments from RP on the 1LE we don't know if he likes it better or thinks it's worse.

I'm thinking the only way the 1LE has better corner exit is if your cornering inconsistently and because it's down on power and has the ELSD the rear end is more stable when putting the power down. Which I suppose is good news for crappy track drivers like me but won't sway RP

I watched the 1LE, GT350R, and M4 GTS figure 8 videos on MT on demand. It looks like the 1LE exits smoother and faster than the others. That E-LSD seems to be magic on these cars!

But how could Randy say good things about the Mustang? Him and the MT gang are paid for by GM.

Guess we have to stop calling it Chevy Trend and start calling it Mustang Trend now?
