I look forward to plenty of race vids between these 2.
"13 GT500 vs ZL1 Track Test Inside Line
- Thread starter bull3441
- Start date
You will be amazed.
Was the driver the skinny dude in the movie Road Trip?
Although I do believe the ZL1 is going to offer a Nav with the '13.
Everyone can debate the whole track thing as much as they want. But let's be realistic here.....majority of us will be encountering each car on the street....as far as I'm concerned, having a power advantage of 100+whp will be the winning factor. Providing semi decent drivers on both ends. As stated above, the difference in handling statistics are minimal...not enough to put the ZL1 out front as the better car. Not nutswinging the GT500 just because I'm a ford guy, I love all cars. But the bottom line is the ZL1 isn't what everybody expected it to be, and the '13 GT500 blows it away IMO. But, it's the ford vs chevy battle that continues on and will never end.....we all like what we like

Should trap another 1-3 mph more with NAV combined with On-star.
And you know this how?
He is correct. No more CF insert option. That's the upgrade. Nothing else is changing as of now.
Expect big things.
pretty much
Ohh didnt know the ZL1 is only on a 305... i just remember the early vids saying it was supposed to harness monster 345s. Still a decent advantage in width.
Pay no attention to svt4ever22 the guys a tard! The guy bashes the car just to annoy people. Both cars are badass.
This is what I was gonna say. Take liter bikes vs 600's on a road course. On the bigger courses, the 15-20 mph difference in trap speed with skilled riders on both typically equals a good 3-4 seconds differences in lap times, but on the smaller, more technical courses, that gap closes greatly even with the massive power:weight difference, which is much greater than the '13 GT500 vs ZL1 difference.
I'm with RedVenom in guessing that the GT500 will own on med/large courses because that's a huge power difference, but on the smaller, more technical courses, the well-underpowered ZL1 might make a strong showing (if we ever see legit numbers from legit drivers in both on all different types of tracks, which is unlikely). Just speculation, though.

Swap the pulley in the GT500 and youre back to square one.
really?! good lord....
why does brand loyalty still exist? Can't we all just admit that they are both badass (both with strenghts and weaknesses) cars that most of us can't afford anyways?
^This. :beer:
Amen, brother.
I am of the mind that a proper comparison cannot actually be made until both car companies prove the vehicles merits by donating one of each car to our garages so that we can continue this debate properly. This donation would obviously include fuel and an unlimited warranty...just to make sure that they both remain in perfect trim so an accurate opinion can be made over the coarse of say...the rest of our lives...yeah that seems perfectly reasonable.
