Stock SS 1LE 1:57.7 at Chuckwalla, track alignment and running 285 instead of 305 in the back.

A race track is essentially an unprepped strip. Cramro has a definite advantage with it's traction control and E-LSD. I can't believe Ford had the GT500 in development this long and still stuck with a mechanical diff. No doubt, given a track that the 500 can stretch it's legs at, it'll...

I don't think anyone is arguing that the GT500 is down on horsepower or something. I think the most surprising thing so far is C&D's critique of the GT500 chassis, when every other publication has been in love with it.

Don't you mean the Crapmaro? :cwl: I'd wager there's far more hatred of the Camaro over here.. but this is the internets and my ego isn't so wrapped up in the car i own that it bothers me. Obviously I only speak for myself, but I think the GT350/500 are pretty damn cool. Even the normal GT...

oof.

So, you're saying BH was right? Am I having a stroke right now? :question:

Except the GT350 is pretty universally recognized as having better chassis tuning than the base S550. Better front end behavior due to the revised front knuckle and steering rack, and whatever else they've done. It was far from just engine and exhaust. If the GT shared those parts and the...

My pet theory is that MH and BH are actually the same person :D I feel like he had a pretty reasonable argument to his claim that the GT500 was more affected by track condition. But, I wouldn't say it's unexpected given that Fords official 10.7 was done on a prepped surface and the 11.3-11.5...

Quite a few folks over here are convinced that Randy Pobst is a paid GM shill, everyone seems to have their own little tinfoil hat theory. At a certain point it just becomes part of the background noise that gets tuned out. Fanboys will fanboy.

You should re-read that last sentence again. Honestly, the ZLE did better than I thought it would. But NOBODY has been arguing that, stock for stock, it will beat the GT500 in the 1/4. And if they have been, they're off their rockers. And yes, that last statement includes our favorite little...

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

Yeah, he's our little fanboy. You've got a few of them over here ;) Think they're gonna run the track alignment on the GT500 when they do the road course test?

:D That 3 up race was just for show. They clarified where the times came from if you bothered to read: "To clear things up: We ran each car separately at our test track (off camera) with the same driver and better weather conditions and got the results you see at the end of the video. " Too...

Too bad they were running the track alignment on the GT500.

Why not include this screenshot? ;)

They're too busy fighting the Meme wars. Good luck with facts.

Not enough negative camber at the track will kill tires much more quickly than -2.5 to -3* camber will kill tires on the street. Besides, negative camber doesn't wear tires out nearly as much as toe in / out will. GM's track alignment is generally just more negative camber, still 0 toe. No...

Good catch. We'll have you writing coherently in no time! Keep up the practice! :D It's all about the clicks. Unfortunate, but that's the way it goes on the interwebs.

Looks like the did post some times - VIR Full https://www.motortrend.com/news/chevrolet-corvette-z51-c8-track-alignment-understeer

Sounds like it's tinfoil hat time. How do you know the base time was slower than the ZLE when they didn't release times?
