ZL1 beats new GT500

But it's a little more acceptable when you're actually going fast.

It's going to be fun to see what the next Camaro and Mustang platforms turn out like.

Don't forget "soul and sophistication". That helps a lot coming out of turn 3 in Sebring.

someone at work just picked up a ZL1 in red, the wheels are pretty stick for stockers

CHris Harris sums it up pretty well. While the Ford has ergonomics of a truck and stone aged solid axle that can't handle bumps it's fun as hell. The Chevy is more refined and boring. Too bad Chevy detuned the motor. But then if you did a simple reflash with better tune I suspect you could grab extra ponies from the ZL1 and actually use that extra power.

I can't see myself in either car. I'd buy a used Porsche 911 turbo and mod it if I wanted something insanely fast for $50K.pretty easy to bolt GT3 suspension on 911 and make simple tweaks to turbo tune to extract 600 hp.

I'd take Pobst's opinion over Harris. But everyone seems to think the GT500 is more fun. And if you're not a pussy its going to be better on track (than the ZL1, and with brake cooling, per Randy).

But like you I'd be tracking something other than a ZL1/GT500. I'd buy the GT500 for the fun factor and the "200mph Mustang" factor but mainly I'd just put around town with it.

My limit is 3600lbs!

I'm gonna buy an Ariel Atom for the track

I'm over open track cars. They suck in the rain and are miserable on hot days. I like a roof and real windscreen on my track cars.
