Then they should have compared the C8Z51 to a GT500 CFTP.....right? I mean if we really want similar features....my guess is that would have been a 10-12 second shredding.
What kind of logic is that? A STOCK BASE GT500 was compared to a C8 with a track spec alignment done by GM engineers....Why not compare stock for stock? Ford engineers didn't put a Whipple or Fathouse turbo kit on the GT350 when it was compared to an AlphaMaro, right?
Yes it needs to be brought...
Say what? Linky linky for your viewing pleasure......of course they had slightly worn tires.....
I'm normally into car porn of any flavor but the gappening here is brutally ugly.....
You're spinning more than the GT500 at this point.....3 people noticed at the time of arrival the tires were shot that's when they decided it was OK to do the track comp. first. Do you honestly believe Randy or these YTer's would ever hear the end of it if there was a good 5 plus second gapping...
Yeah but that's only because the GT500 didn't have bald tires.....and they didn't bring in a "Blue stock car" and the GT500 had all of it's aero attached....:cwl:
Look I'm more about having fun with this than anything else...yes, I'm embellishing a little about all the sandbags Randy left in the last 2 GT500's he drove......BUT if you don't see some things...errrr shall we say out of place like bringing in a Blue Camaro for the drag test because "aero" on...
I guess the fact I also own a GT500(in my sig) and hopefully a new one sooner than later is just another small fact Camaro fan boy's miss when they're all swelled up with "nothing can touch the Camaro" logic ….kinda like they miss the logic that magazines and YT'er's probably would make sure...
Then why wouldn't they go buy a set of tires? They didn't make any money off the video? No the truth is they were looking for an excuse to make things close...
You might want to check and see what a new set of SCII look like before showing the tire comparison and get your eyes checked while your...
My point is it is NOT that close in a real world comparison.
New tires on the GT500 is worth a minimum of 3 seconds.
Properly adjusted aero(Why is some of it removed?)1-2 seconds?
Randy having 1000X more wheel time in a Camaro with the same chassis...1-2 second advantage?
Truth is we might be...
Yeah we heard that too....but full disclosure the GT500 was riding on it's bare rims by that point....just sayin new tires are the best excuse for the 5-6 second track gap the GT500 really put on the AlphaMaro…..before "the tire" issue made it......fair shall we say. Hats off to Dodge...at least...
Again it's not by accident that the GT500 had it's aero removed and not adjusted as well as bald tires in this video....just the same as it wasn't an accident the C8 had an engineer installed "track adjustment" in that video.
Think about it fellas, Motor Trend nor these YT channels want to...
Isn't it funny that there is always "one little thing" to keep cars close in these comparison videos???
I mean in the C8 video it was the 3 second track tune the Chevy engineers gave the Vette(not to mention 10X more wheel time in the C8 for the driver)….so we all know the BASE GT500 is...
