Exactly. There are no tracks near me that I could venture to, where I could get close to 180 so I don't care. Texas mile does seem cool, but in stock form the few videos I have seen of stock ZL1 and Hellcats hit the mid 170s and that's it. |

Again, the tire argument is made up.
They were surprised the ZL1 won. That was their best, highly speculative, explanation. |

When the ZL1, C8, etc wins, then either it was fixed, sandbagging, some lame excuse. Or, the GM car is ugly or bad visibility so the Ford is the "better" car. So, the GM car never wins.

The S550 platform has been plagued with issues, including high speed stability issues. It is completely fair if not expected, that people would assume the same with the GT500 considering its cap. Even if Ford had an excuse, at this point I dont think any non-fan boi would believe it anyway. This is their Halo car, and the LAST to the party. What gives?

It was never brought up until the ZL1 beat it... Quote:
I do think they needed an excuse for why the GT500 has been losing and this was the easiest one. Although they did use it back when the GT350R lost to the ZL1. So maybe Ford actually is handicapping their cars so it will never be an official loss... Or maybe an AvailableGT500 Roy... It just doesn't make sense. |
