I also read a bunch of rubbish about something weighing over 3700# with skinnier tires than a 370Z Nismo that comes in RWD only and has 600# of torque with a table-top power-curve. It may well compete with the ZL1, but it doesn't have anything for the Z06 even in its wildest dreams. The Z06 is a driver's car, not a drag-strip bottle-rocket. The GT500 will never be what the Z06/ZR1 are. Not until they do some suspension work that involves a real tire, trim some fat, etc. Also, the physics of IRS vs. SRA cannot be denied. You won't see it show up on a skidpad or a track, but take it to the street and introduce pot-holes and the like, and the SRA cannot help but have a smaller contact-patch when one tire dips into a pot-hole. It's just simple physics at that point. |
