I'm hoping someone in the approval chain finally got involved and the conversation went something like:

"Are you telling me the ZL1 with the fastest lap time of the group (probably) is being listed in 5th place because the bumps on the road in the suede lined recaro seats hurt your ******s too much?! I don't think so. Fix it now". - MT Exec (probably)

In this case that's not exactly correct as the MT website had the AMG in 5th in this morning's article. That has never changed.

The only negative I have read about the engine is it doesn't sound as good as it used to... then everyone quickly forgives that because it has more torque.

So we'll see.

I'd personally take the 488 over any of the others, though.

I believe that Ignition video is from when they did this BDC comparison, so time will be exactly the same.

1st they misstated that it got 5th place yesterday and today it wrongly states that it has CCBs. What a rag!

I emailed the author explaining the error.

EDIT -- Got a reply and they'll update it shortly.

EDIT's EDIT -- carbon-ceramic has been removed from that line.

Pretty impressive what the 1LE will do. 4th ain't bad at all given the line up.

[Mr. Meh]

ZL1 1LE video is back up.. Hopefully it stays this time

Fourth place in that. Company is freaking awesome.

...and at that price point!

The ZL1 is competing with cars that have always been designed for the track. They are smaller , lighter and nimble... my old 911 felt like a go kart. the fact that it ranks that high just goes to show what great value for money we get with these cars. Kudos to GM.

Where is Mustang and Challenger? You know, the two cars we compare sales numbers to every month.

oh right...they suck!

Ok, well I may be missing something as to why they aren't there, but i'm pretty sure I know why.

Good job GM, two great cars (relatively affordable) making lots of folks very happy.

Let's not get carried away. The GT350R was there last year, and wound up in 2nd place behind a McLaren.

They did enter the Hellcat in the Best Drivers Car drag race last year as well, even though it was not in the main competition.
