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.

I was just going to say that. Considering the 500 just became available the owner must be actually enjoying it. Good on them. I'm not buying into the tire excuse though.

Exactly. They have a million excuses every time they lose. Once again it's the tires. If you know you're supplying your car for testing, then throw some fresh tires on the damn thing. What else was there? I mean, did he unload it on them with a quarter tank of 91 octane gas and 5% oil life and after driving it across the country nonstop? Gimmie a break. The biggest test in the past 6 years and they show up with a brand new car on some worn out tires? Bullshit. That can lost fair and square, plain and simple. And if the tires were worn then the GT500 deserved to lose.

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.
