Mustang vs ZLE

[Louk]

Mustang AE, at least on a GT, by design has both a user setting plus adjustment based on throttle input, RPM, etc.

I’m assuming the bullitts are the same as Gt and if I have mine in quiet I can floor it and it stays in quiet mode no matter rpm or throttle input.

Congrats. I've watched bunch of these cars stock driven in anger and they're amazing. It's basically a racecar out of factory, as much as it can be street legal.
DSSV dampers from Multimatic vs. Magneride in 1/LE and Mustangs seems to be on another level. Truly an exceptional car stock.

That's a really nice feature. My 2016 GT350 would always open the valves on full throttle. I absolutely hated that. I got decent at giving it as much throttle as possible without opening the valves, but I would much rather have the car always be quiet in quiet mode.

They are. Very rigid. Definetely notna great daily. I believe performance are really similar to gt500track pack. If not superior... With 50k less.

Quiet may be a special mode since it's pretty purposeful, so it's not adaptive like the others[?]

Side note: I'm running a Steeda H-pipe, sounds amazing, especially in Sport (which I actually prefer to Track) and the Quiet mode is still just as quiet as stock. Very highly recommended on the AE setup.

H pipe on mine too! Sounds perfect IMO
The pops bangs and burbles from the Bullitt tune are amplified!

I will switch to corsa
Borla after e85 and JLT became just a touch too guttural. Especially now I'm comparing to the camaro.
Or maybe i just wamt a different tome for next year.
QUESTION
This borla has 5k miles. No rain (garage and dry track only)
New is north 1700 with taxes (no AE)
If i sell it. 1200 is a good price IYO?

ZL1 is superior as a track car. Eats Shelby's for a light snack. Not a drag car though or roll race car.

GT500 will walk it. Of course it depends on the track. Small tracks the stickier tires or lighter cars have an advantage. My Fiesta ST can beat either on a tiny track with lots of turns. Tracks that are high speed with longer straights - the additional 70 HP and DCT of the GT500 are way too much to overcome.

I'd take a ZL1 all day long over a GT500. Stick, doesn't burn the tires off due to the bloated weight, better chassis, still can't tune the tranny on GT500 (from what I've read not sure on this), way over priced, and the sound once you go with a cam.

And now the zle has also the 10speed..

true and according to one of the guys over on the track thread who track races his mustang the A10 in the ZLE is much better (isn't the same, chevy beefed it up for track use) in regards to track use. he said he has gone through several A10's on his mustang over a season.

I get that you like the Camaro more. Nothing wrong with that. But if you had one and were on track you would get passed by GT500s.

The Camaro weighs about 7% less. Both are bloated IMO. 3900 lbs is not light by any means.

edit: and that's the manual. The automatic is significantly heavier.

Yeah I was off on the track but they're close from what I'm seeing.

That is probably me. Lol

We will see. I got the manual zle (back to the origin cause as italian we don't have automatics. 90% are manual cars). It is fun and i suspect that because huge low and mid torque i won't change gears oftem on track
