When car actually has the word "track" in its "name" and 260 more hp, it better beat it. Duh. It is a totally different setup. Not just an alignment. Changing springs/bars/shocks, tires, wheels, aero, wing. Anyone could say it might beat the C8, but at only one performance metric is not a win, when it lost on all the other metrics. So MT must have let the GT500 win on the one metric so people on here won't feel so bad.

Plus MotorTrend Named the C8 Car of the Year. Another win for the C8. They said it was a masterpiece

I love how butthurt you trolls get over a Mustang beating the new midengine C8 Corvette at the track. Randy Pobst is a huge GM fanboy (he daily drives a Camaro) and even he seems to be falling all over himself with the GT500.

Again it wasn't the CFTP that beat it by 5 seconds....it was the BASE GT500 minus the "pit crew suspension change"...go back a few pages and I showed how the CFTP was about 11 seconds faster...

Just repeat this post for the rest of this threads life. It really is an endgame statement.

So you think a amateur on the track with other cars lap time is the same as a pro on a closed course? Did you also see at the end of the video that his fastest time was 1:55.6 during that same session?

Which video? Thread is hard to follow now.

Shouldn't have taken a day off. Thought I got "butthurt", but then realized I'm actually a GT500 "fanboy" even though I just bought a ZLE. Not trying to be a "troll". There, am I using all the car forum terms like the cool kids do? Feels neat.

Dont forget "POORS", you can't have a GT 500 thread without that one!
