Lol well Mr Blaq is now saying it took a 94k GT500 to beat a ZLE. Hmm....So both cars were in road course setup. So if the base is meant to be the more straight line performer, how does he figure that the base would have been closer ? That does not add up at all. Now all of the extra things you pay for on the GT500 CFTP magically adds to the HP. Did we not have this discussion about the C8 extra price not adding to HP. The red eye ? Well what can you say ?

Of course they all revert to the magical 11.1 the C8 ran. Lol I cannot wait to see that fairy tale myth busted in the real world.
He gets a little overboard on some of his rants. But there are a few here that do the same. But most are good on both sides.

Here is the part of the video that shows just how much slower the ZL1 is...notice the hellcat and GT500 RUN away. It's not even close.

Well, if Ford says the GT500 will run a 10.7, why did it run an 11.3 in this test?

The real world is where most of us actually race....the drag-strip.

There was a lot of in-house complaining about the weight also.
I’m still complaining about it. But you learn to live with it once you see what a well rounded monster the car is. One can only imagine how silly this thing would be. If it was 200 pounds lighter.

Totally agree. But since it’s last to the dance, anything less would be a fail, especially at price point.
I guess that's all you Camaro guys have left now.

If it makes you feel special to say that, then I guess it must be.
It makes me feel really nice and warm inside when the Chivy trolls on a Ford forum throw in the towel.

That was the C6 argument before I got booted a couple weeks ago. You can get a ZL1 for 60k. It’s such a

Last time I checked. Hack drove a Vette. Can’t imagine saying that makes him feel anything?

I do not street race, these tests do nothing for me.
Congrats to the ShelbyGT500!
At a drag strip where this kind of race is supposed to happen. The results will be a lot better for the hell kitty. And a lot worse for the ZLe.

Everyone expects the GT500 to win the drag race over the ZLE, it better, it has 110 hp more. Not a big deal.

I guess every forum has one. But 99% of them expected this outcome. However, didn’t expect the hellcat in last tho.
Yes, I thought the Hellcat would have beat the ZLE. So the girl just cannot drive.

I never quoted any specifics. I just stated where did all the haters go to. If you go to the old thread when the GT500's weight was initially released you will see what i am talking about.
To be fair, there were a lot of "stangers complaining about the weight in that thread too. I think most people were surprised that's all. I don't think it was hate by anyone.
