here i go again
« on: November 19, 2013, 08:32:29 PM »
so much for chevy's claim that the gt500 couldn't touch the zl1 over there at nurbergring.  :devil

prepare for 7 minutes and 39 seconds of supercharger whine, tire squeal, 5.8 liter screaming, chevy whomping corner eating fun.

I would have pissed myself, then shat myself, then puked, then hollered for more fun!  That would be one Hell of a ride to be on.  Wow!

    7:19.63    Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 (2012) Official time according to Wiki so Mustang still a good 20 seconds behind.

no.....the mustang's out in front of its competition, the camaro. again. by about 2 seconds. the vette is a whole different animal, and is in a class almost its own, along with the viper. it'd be nice to see ford put the gt40 back into production again though.

 the whole point is that virtually EVERYONE would say "the shelby could never match the camaro, due to the solid rear axle." to that argument, i normally said that it was close enough in the turns(performance-wise) that it only had to stay close if there were any straight aways. i'd venture that the camaro squeak-slapped the shelby in most of the turns, 'specially the harder ones. then the shelby simply did what relatively light cars with nearly 700hp do.....it literally assassinated the blacktop on the straight aways. to be honest, on that track, this outcome really shouldn't be much of a surprise.

Too bad its still 2 sec slower than the Z/28.... Which has almost 200 fewer horsepower.

 :neener:

Ford's top dog is still sniffing Camaro arse. :)

Yes, the one they're offering for sale to the public and is street legal. The one that's faster than the GT500 around the race track. That one.

How's 2nd place feel?

 :D

 it feels good, 'cause it already beat their "unbeatable" zl1, and i'm fairly certain that it'll beat the z when the irs chassis is used.

 i'd like to see what the boss302 would do, because it's overall a better balanced car than the shelby........

 annnd for the sake of discussion, it really is first place, as it's been "gt500 vs zl1" not "gt500 vs whatever chevy feels like throwing at it". the zl1 was said to be unbeatable by the shelby on that course. it was proven incorrect, and the shelby reins.  :aok

The GT500 that ran the Ring wasn't even stock.

nice try, but that's an old pic i believe. that said, supposedly, the zl ran on a non-stock tire to set its time.

No "if if if" with cars that do not exist yet, at least not for sale.  :)

meh. It's Mustang vs Camaro, your top dog versus theirs. Problem is when Ford went to work on beating the Bowtie Boys, the ZL1 was the top dog. By the time they finally got there, the ZL1 is no longer King and the Z28 is eating the Pony's lunch.

Sorry, ya thought they had caught up and yet they're still one step behind.  :lol
