Both reviews are exactly what I expect them to be from the two cars. Blaq is fortunate enough to be able to compare personal ownership of all 3 at once. Probably couldn't get a better perspective.

The ZL1/camaro seat may be power recline but hardly recline at all without modification i agree the weight can be felt especially during normal driving. During spirited driving the weight can still be felt but I'm having so much fun I dont think about it... Lighter wheels would likely make a noticeable difference in making it feel lighter. That is what the CFTP GT500 owners are reporting.

Thanks a lot. It's pretty cool to see how well these two cars compete with each other yet how they have such significant differences. |

It really should have come with heated steering wheel and heated/vented Recaros as standard. Perhaps that would have put them over budget. Quote:
Thanks. It is a phenomenal car for sure. |

Here are some pics. Those are some huge rotors, lol!! And yea they had some rust on it because the car was sitting for over a month and a half. But it cleaned right up.
Curious thing tho. I noticed that the oil pressure gauge and the dash reading says 80 PSI while cruising. I'm not sure if that is normal for these cars but I will be looking into it today to see what's what. |

I told you all the GT500 brakes are no joke!
Blaq - Your car looks great man!! Definitely try shifting via the paddles manually. A lot of great info from Goose17 in this thread regarding the DCT/modes: https://www.fordgt500.com/threads/20....195961/page-2

They are great looking cars, especially without the stripe package. If they offered a manual transmission, I would actually visit a Ford dealer. I would have to have the recaro seats and replace the wheels.

Right? LOL!!
For sure. Although the HC is heavier and doesn't have rotors that big. But then again the HC isn't built for the track or with track capabilities in mind. If it was then I bet it would need rotors just as big. It was literally the first thing I noticed when I saw the car in person for the first time. Quote:
