If an 8250 rpm N/A V8, making more HP than the first S197 GT500, is Ford's version of "asleep at the wheel" then I don't want them to wake up.

In smiles per mile the 350R will win. Randy doesn't seem to enjoy the ZL1 as much as he did the 350R.

It looks like he was making fun of the A10

I have owned the GT350 and now the ZL1. The ZL1 should beat the GT350R hands down. I really don't think it is a good comparison. The ZL1 has 20% more horsepower, a lot more torque. Both have similar Brembos. The GT350R does have less weight which will help it but not enough. I am sure the ZL1 will be a manual. It is really the best against the best per manufacturer that's all. Both are good cars. The ZL1 is not as nice looking at first, and I did not like the whine. But it has grown on me. And I really don't care about seeing out the back. It has blind spot monitors which help a lot at night.

GT350 or GT350R? Having owned a GT350R for over 18k miles, I can tell you there is a world of difference between the way the GT350TP and GT350R cars perform.

A world??? As in about 2 seconds? As in lighter wheels? As in more wheel? I am ordering an R and have driven one but your view is slightly exagerated.

It is about 2sec on most tracks. Tire/wheel upgrade alone with eat that up.

What do you think will happen next year when the true ford ZL1 competitor comes with 100+ more HP and all the same track goodies, maybe slightly heavier? Push it off as being the corvette competitor? Sure it will be priced more with a Dual Clutch tranny, carbon fiber bits, I don't mind spending the additional for something I REALLY want vs something...ah....not so much. Zl1 isn't a bad performer but I'm not ready to fall into a coffin just yet.

Your right 2 seconds isn't a lot until you make 10 laps around the track and there is a 20 seconds difference. Haha just kiddin man. It's basically the same car. Just tires, rims and downforce. Mines gutted but most aren't.

Chrysler is still running the 2 generations ago E class platform it received as a gift after they let Benz clean out the $$ coffers ... hey but you have 800 HP tho right?

I love Ford, but all this hate towards the FCA LX chassis is a bit unwarranted. Didn't ford start the Fox chassis in 1979 and essentially keep it the same through 2004?

It's because it's a pig. Fox wasn't

Try 1993.

Imagine the hellcat challenger with...oh I don't know, a weight of 3700-3800 pounds.

Now imagine a GT350/R with 700+hp. At its current weight. The GT350/R would clobber it.
