[CAP1]

The Zl1 has already ran the ring..

Ford has not shown much enthusiasm with their new gt500 with an attempt to compete.. 

 they tested the suspension, and aero last year there. they've got a gt5oo there right now.


 the thing i note about the two..........chevy's guy is like your neighbors annoying chiwawa......making a LOT of noise all the time. fords guy is more of the "speak softly and carry a big stick" kind of guy.
 both methods are good for keeping people hyped.

nope. 2k density altitude should make in the ballpark of .2 difference in the 1/4. at least that's about how much it used to effect my camaro.

 the thing that got me, is the 2.0 60ft times. that is S L O W for that et. it should be more in the 1.6 to 1.7 range for 11.8's. there's no video of the runs yet, so i don't know if he was spinning off the line, or babying it......i think there's more good stuff to come from this though.

 god i wish i could afford one...........

Why would the car care about the 2000ft elevation, the GT500 is supercharged isn't it?

sure, but a lower air density still equals less boost..

 ytou beat me to it.......

  looks like the dodge has the torque in the bottom end because it left the line the best,but midrange is all cammero...Wow!


     And I'm an old ford guy,had to be family was upper management and I'd be disowned....

CAP, really are you going to compare a GT500 to a ZL-1 on a road course?  See if you can find a picture of those two GT500's on the track with factory tires, I bet I can find one with the ZL-1 on factory tires.  This is the info they don't let out.  It's simple physics, the GT500 is how much heavier then a ZL-1, to get close to the same times it has to increase grip dramatically over what the ZL-1 has, to make up for it's increased weight.  200 extra lbs in a corner pulling 1g or more is a lot more extra tire loading then one might think.  One day you'd think CAP would get over his corvette envy and just buy one and be done with it

I don't think so because the supercharger is able to pump well over the regulated 8 or whatnot psi. So it will work a bit harder but still provide the sea level boost no?

 Frenchy, good question I know it effects a turbo car but a charger.......Hmmm???

 the gt500 is about 250# lighter than the zl1.

 if they run 8psi boost at sea level, and 8psi boost at 2k alt.......you're gonna get less o2 to burn.

 it does indeed affect a supercharged car, just as it would a normally aspirated car.
