[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15656078, member: 68944"] Guys? Let's all come in. Group hug time. Let's can the hate. Bromance... Na **** that. If dodge fished so hard for a hero run that the average times are 1.5 seconds off their hero runs... And wait, I'm the fanboy? Come on dude. That be like ford promising a 12 second 03 cobra and the average review test getting 14's. Ford could have gone hero hunting and ran a 12.25 in a stock 03 cobra in 40° air in February at a -1000ft da track... They chose (wisely) not to. I never said dodge should bench mark a crap time, but if I headed dodges social media team, and knew we went hero time hunting when we made all the hype, I'd make for damn sure that the first tests that magazine reviewers got to partake in happened in exceptional locations like north north ny or Washington as close to sea level and in as cool of air as possible. Don't take my word for it, go over to dodge forums. Tons of threads of teary eyed wtf posts. Dodge pulled about the 99.99% out of the car, look for a handful of 9.90's (still bad the **** ass IMO) and a plurality of 10's. Why dodge chose to do a first drive with motortrend at a terrible venue is well beyond me. They went 20 steps back and I feel bad for them because they worked hard on a great car. That issue aside, and by the way thanks regarding the assessment on transmission loss, here's some nuts and bolts regarding gt500's and zl1s (2012) Fact: gt500 ran 1:37.8 at leguna in Randy phobsts hands. Zl1 ran 1:38.2 Randy said he liked the balance and handling better in the gt500. He said the brakes started to fade. Everyone knows that's as simple as dot4 fluid and pads. Watch the vid. It's on YouTube. Chris Harris liked the gt500 more than the zl1. It's on YouTube. The 2013 gt500 had faster stock lap at VIR than the 2012 zr1. The 2013 gt500 had a faster stock lap than the zl1 at willow springs, big willow, Seattle, pokano, road Atlanta, etc etc etc road America. All are online, verified. Talk to people who have piloted both cars. The trinity is faster in a straightline and on 90%+ of circuits driver being equal conditions equal etc. More facts: bolt on gt500's make 700-750whp. They trap 140-145. Quick YouTube search [MEDIA=youtube]2B2SlAc7TIo[/MEDIA] [ATTACH=full]95664[/ATTACH] More to come as I search but wanted to get a quick response in. And you best tone down that violent hate speech or I'll get my big brother on you. He knows karate! [/QUOTE]
