I thought the A10 did not suffer from the bog issues of the M6

Take the snow ingestion cover off. Way more responsive (same peak boost but builds the boost faster). Soler's Throttle Controller also will correct that pronto I hear from guys that did it.

They also misspelled camaro "camero" during the burnout lol

A10 Launch was poor at best.

Can't tell if you know that was on purpose or not? Hence the Pinkeye too

Ford has already said they don't want to try and break records at the Nürburgring. From a handling standpoint, I guarantee the GT500 could not keep up with 1LE on the track. Chevy should send a 1LE A10 over to Germany and beat their own lap time. It was originally done with the 6 speed manual.

I would like to see those numbers too. Hopefully they don't use launch control on the launch.

What was the point of the no-brake burnout test? Is this a thing that I've missed, or did they make it up?

They should buy a GT500 and ship it over since ford is scared

I have been waiting impatiently for 'Ring time in the ZLE auto. I guess if it has not happened by now, it is not going to.....and that is a real shame.

With this being the launch year for the C8, I don't see Chevy doing anything with other performance cars that could create a distraction from the money they're spending to make the most of this historic event--the launch of the first high production world class mid engine sports car from a major American MFR, with an MSRP under $60K.

If Chevy intoduces an LT5 Camaro, it would outperform the base C8 on a track (C8 would still have faster 0-60) and have at least 250 more HP. This would create distraction and indecision for buyers of the LT2 C8 in 2020-2021. Not sure when the Z06 is planned to launch.

You make great points, but a ZLE will already smoke a C8 around a track. Love the C8 and I'm waiting for a C8Z, by the way.

Both great super cars. But, I’d take the Z over the ford any day. Driven both. Bought the Z.
