2013 Shelby GT500 vs 2012 Camaro ZL1 Match Race at Atco Raceway! - YouTube
Did you hear the ZL1 reving it's engine at the beginning of the video?
LOL! :lol:
I love reading the comments on youtube. C5 Nut swingers on there in full force. One KoolAid dick puts " whats funny is the Camaro smokes the tires both times durring these races and runs the mustang down, even when the mustang HAS radials, put radials on the Camaro and do it again"
^^^^^HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:rolling:^^^^^^
Confirmation. They are going to the road course next. We've already been down that road. This confirms everything. The ZL1 is slow and ugly and there is dejection across Camaro land. If you all recall the Torq ZL1 ran similar times at PBIR. Got smoked by Lethal. Then the same Torq ZL1 modded all to hell got smoked by Revan Racing.
It's only going to get worse.
Screw it. I might just do some minor mods to the suspension and see what I can do against my buddy Bruce in his ZR1 because frankly the Chevy guys are right. The 2013 GT500 is more closely matched with the ZR1 at half the price. I was only about 4 seconds behind the ZR1 at Sebring. Considering he had a 5 point harness, stabilizer bar up front that he told me enabled him to pick up 3 seconds at Sebring and he was on Hoosiers (Big fat ones) I think the Chevy boys are dead on. ZR1 is competition to the 2013 GT500 and not the zl1. Eh, not so much. In fact, not at all. They might claim an autocross victory against a 80 year old man with macular degeneration in the GT500 but other than that they are done.
A bone stock 2007 GT500 could run those times or better in the quarter. Hell, I went 12.46 in bone stock 2007 GT500.
Well done SVT and Ford. Well done.

Well gee...GM ran that in their test cars at Milan on stock tires. With 1.6 60' foots!!!This is all the truth and it's all very funny. With just Hoosier drag radials, I went 11.92@117 in our 2008 GT500. Poor ZL1 guys :nonono:
