Here is a pic of tires on both. Do you really see any difference? Also, look at the rears of the 1le. Both cars didn’t have new tires. Also, the lack of front aero on the gt500 would be very minimum on that short slower track. You also need to remember, Ford sent this car, it wasn’t the show...
But those who buy a CFTP or 1le is for the track, so ride quality isn’t a priority, those are what the base cars are for. Plus I really doubt you will see any CFTP use there car as a DD. So is the CFTP worth the extra $20k more if your going to track it?
when or wherever have you seen a write up or a review of any of the mustang where there praised the chassis? That’s is all you read when they talk about the Camaro, is how good the Alph chassis is. This is from every magazine review of the car. They critique other aspects of the car on the...
This is a quote from Jason from the test.
"But yeah possibly 1-2 seconds faster on fresh. Unfortunately, the life of a cup2 is short lived when attached to a GT500. Its heavy, and wears down hard by the third lap. So this was as close to science as we could get with the resources we have. We...
A guy on C6 said he knows the guy who supplied the 1le, and said Ford supplied the GT500. Why they sent it with spent tires is a mystery. Maybe a backup excuse???
If you go on car gurus or auto trader, there are very few nationwide. In fact there are over twice as many new gt350 (1178) sitting on lots compared to new zl1 (480)cars.
I agree, but that is all we got. But the 1le times are more in line with z06. I still feel the 1le would have no problem beating the C8 z51. And to go buy what you said, the gt500 and C8 were also different days.
The 1le was 4 sec faster then c7z51 at LS, and the C8 is about 1 sec faster then c7. LS is a smaller and tighter track. So I would say the 1le at vir full would put a hurtling on a C8 z51.
IMHO GM downfall wasn’t making it to hardcore, it was making to many of them. If they did what Ford did and limit the build to 500 a year, the market would not be flooded. I believe the 2nd year of the z28, they built near 5000. Your not going to get that many track focused buyers. The 1le was...
