[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16226502, member: 138028"] Since when does a 15 Mustang GT do 1:52 on the full VIR course? C&D only does Lightning laps on that track please tell me those times you posted above are for a different track. The drivers are representative of the everyday person that has some track experience and what they would get on that particular track if they ran these cars. Are they perfect drivers? No, are you??? I've never said lap times of the cars at VIR that C&D does on their LL articles are gospel, it's a good comparison of what a car can do on that track and the capability when you flog them. Maybe if they put Jim Mero in the ZR1 at VIR he would get a better lap time than the 2:39.5 the person from C&D got. The results are the results, I mean if they repaved VIR before they ran the new GT500 and it matched the ZR1 time then the Shelby is capable of lapping the track quicker with a better driver. It's only a gauge people. When I'm interested in buying that type of car I want to see the performance #'s before laying down my money, the #'s I see tell me if the car performs the way it should with the specs it has from the manufacturer, that's it. So LostM, if you didn't have a problem with what C&D will do with the new GT500 @ VIR when they Lightning lap it you shouldn't have a problem with them testing the car through all the acceleration times...……….again it's a gauge. They got 10.8 @ 135 with the ZR1 and generally on the same pavement they will get what they get with the 500, if it has the cajones and can put down the power it should run a decent et in their hands, then you get yours on the dragstrip and you may or may not get a better time but at least you know generally what the car can do before you fork out your cash for one. I'll stand by my statement, (AFA the cars are concerned not counting the driver equation), a 2020 GT500 off the showroom floor WILL NOT touch a bone stock 2019 ZR1 on any track, anybody that thinks otherwise is nuts.
