To summarize; NO
What data do you have that backs that up? The track result from the Track gt500 was only a little over 2 sec quicker then the 350r. The 1le has had bigger gaps on the R.

Huh? When did they run the GT500 against the GT350R?

If you look at Chuckwallas track times, Randy did a 1.57:87 with the 350r. Oblivious a different day, but same track and driver.

Yeah, I wouldn't take those 2 seconds as Gospel. Different days can mean a several second difference.

Why don't you go back and read my posts. I don't disagree with you on this....and hate the fact that the whole article was made to look like it was a head to head match-up.

Has anyone found a 2020 car under $100k that can beat the GT500 on a strip and track yet?

--asking for a friend of a friend of a friend who says GM cars dont suffer from DA changes due to better manufacturing methods
I predict you won't find one for a while.

I love litmus tests to prove how people think. Re-read the question, then get back to me with a yes or no answer :)

Man, you are all over the place. Have no clue where your going. If you have the answer, why ask a question? There has only been two comparison with the gt500! So anything after that is a guess. So unless you can show some other data, it’s all speculation.

negative. It’s actually lame.
Should be same at same track same driver. And the driver.

The GT500 has more in it than Randy showed. It should have posted a good amount more time between it and the c8.
Either weather was bad, Randy had feet cramps the day he drove the 500, or something less honorable, but we all have said same day forever. Some of the biased pubs don’t want to put that together though.

but I’ve a better idea take both cars to the same track one day. Let Randy drive his c8. Let billy j. Drive the500.

bring tissues.

Problem with that is the driver mod. With 2 different drivers and not knowing who is better. In my off road racing days, the pro class had about 25 racers. There were few always on top, then few who were always on bottom, but they were all considered pros. So same driver is needed also.

That was what we call sarcasm. You misunderstood me. I believe any comparison should be same day as well.
