Re: GT500 vs. ZL1...guess who wins?

It isn't as if that comment isn't completely unsupported. At least not by the hero lap times in the head to head comparisons. GT500's power to weight ratio is making up for the handling deficit in some places.

It is going to come down to driving skill, and importantly track configuration.

Re: GT500 vs. ZL1...guess who wins?

Here's another one:

Some Limey compares the ZL1 and GT500

No offense to Chris Harris

As you can expect, ZL1 was nicer to drive around in. He was able to lap faster in it, despite it feeling slower, and in the end he wants the GT500 because it is more ridiculous.

I'm fairly certain the Shelby has larger diameter rotors actually. They're 15" vs. the ZL1's (someone correct me if I'm wrong) 14.6" I believe.

QFT. Both cars are amazing. I'm excited to see what the next-generation for both cars bring. It's a great time to be a fan of Ford and Chevy's respective muscle / pony / sports cars!

Thats the second time (albeit indirectly) that the GT500 got a fun to drive vote.
