As noted in my previous post, the GT500 had the advantage of having the track alignment. The ZLE was only on street alignment. So anybody who wanted to knock on the ZLE winning on track despite having the following deficits should rethink-

Great content from Throttle House (and friends) as always!
Would love to see what a Camaro could do with the LT5, a DCT, and $11000 more dedicated to the track package. Here's hoping GM isn't done competing! |

Real review of the big 3 with Randy Pobst behind the wheel.
Just watched this review from Throttle house taking the Redeye, GT500, and ZL1 1LE A10 through the paces. Been waiting for a real driver to drive all 3 on track for a comparison and its a not so much surprise were the Camaro ends up

This was AWESOME and well done Throttle House!!!
I won't spoil it for everyone but I have to admit I was surprised with some of results.... Bottom line is all 3 cars are FAST...really FAST and so as they say "What ever floats your boat". ZL1 for me all day long but hey I am BIAS.

People on M6G and what not like to say the GT500 is more civilized all arounder, that's great for them, but I don't want that. I want a car that is an event to drive, warts and all. Which is why I also loved the drive of the GT350, tramlining and all etc. Now it sounds like Ford has removed some of that fun to driveness on the later GT3550s in an attempt to tame the tramlining. I say that is truly a shame, they should be putting their resources into QC and the Voodoo reliability IMO. They are close enough in time that I don't care about that anymore. The reviews from multiple outlets confirm for me what I like about cars and the ZL1 is the clear winner there. For someone like me that loves road course driving, the extra 30-75k price difference (real world pricing between the two), that buys a ton of wheels, tires, brakes, insurance, track time, safety gear etc etc. If I ever come against a CFTP in my 6MT ZLE, I know it is a drivers race and I'm just fine with that. |

Yup all really amazing cars but I love the ZL1 and think its the overall best value for sure.
Love the guys at Throttle House also and their vids as well, good stuff. |

Obviously the tires on the gt500 made a difference, 1 to 2 seconds could tie or potentially beat the zl1, but you make a good point that people forget which has already been confirmed. A gt500 with fresh tires is going to go through them quickly and there will be wear by 3 hot lap, 760hp and 4000+ pounds will do that lol. Do you know anything about the alignment of the zl1 1le that has been brought up? Was it a street alignment on the zl1 1le as has been rumored or a track alignment like the gt500 had?

Track alignment would have made the lap time gap much worse, so I question Randy's comment even further on fresher tires making up the difference and then some.

I just wanted a fair fight with the drag race. The 38degree weather test was ridiculous with these GY tires. Not to mention the regular ZL1 A10 is the best iteration of the camaro for a straight line test. So it fells really good that these guys took that into consideration and look what happened....dusted
