[QUOTE="01LightningGal, post: 11928752, member: 4089"] A one lap hero run lets people know what the car is capable of?? I guess you are correct, if your track day is only one lap. However, here in the real world, where a track day is much longer than 1 lap, the ZL1 will be seeing taillights, and that will be from a Boss 302 (already happened. Experienced ZL1 owner lapped 5 seconds slower after 5 minutes, and had inexperienced Boss 302 drivers smoking him). The problem is, in the real world, supercharged 3800++lb cars are not good track cars. Period. They can do well for a very short period of time, and then they will fall on their face. In this instance, the GT500 was 7/10ths of a second slower than the ZL1. How about they run 25 hotlaps, and give us the results. This will be the real world, and will show how much more efficient the GT500 heat exchanger is, than the ZL1's. Who beats who, slightly, after 1 lap, means nothing. Run a real race, and show the end result. Otherwise, you are a part of the problem and not a part of the answer. Basically, they are doing those who aspire to road race, no favors here. It is misrepresentation of the worst kind, as the actual ZL1 owner experienced. [/QUOTE]
