[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16225895, member: 138028"] I'm going to disagree with you on the testing C&D does, their testing data is basically the same as the other mags, yes some mags may get a better test time but that's just different factors and conditions on the day of the test. Here's what the other mags got for the ZR1: Motor Trend is 10.8 @ 133.1 (so slightly slower mph than C&D but same time) Road & Track got 10.6 @ 134 and they got 2.85 0-60 So just because they didn't run the cars on a dragstrip doesn't mean they aren't getting the best #'s as a basic test of performance of all cars (it's not like they ran the ZR1 on a proving ground road then decide to run the Shelby on a fully prepped dragstrip). This is what I'm saying about consistency, the same testing standard, on the same surfaces as close as possible between cars tested on different days. If you watch the C&D vid they adjust the times on the acceleration tests to account for different weather conditions. The only way to prevent this is for them to actually do an article testing both a ZR1 and GT500 on the same day on the same track surfaces. I do not feel assured that you will keep your car "stock" when you run a ZR1, just like I don't think the ZR1 owner is going to show up also with a "stock" vehicle. I'm wagering a bet with you on the performance #'s of a factory stock 2020 GT500 as tested by a leading car magazine that has already tested a factory stock 2019 ZR1 and has published times. I'm not betting on a race between these 2 cars that show up at a track that more than likely already has hidden mods done and past off as stock just to prove 1 car is faster than the other. Based on your other posts here on this car, you haven't even ordered your car yet and you are already talking mods so I don't feel confident that your car will be stock when you line up to run that ZR1. I would feel different however if I was the one that shows up with a ZR1 to run the race against you. [/QUOTE]
