Easy fix. Let's make it Probst vs. Billy Johnson. Do the gamut of Ford vs. GM. Start with turbo'd 4's in their best config and work your way up. Pick a track that exposes all. Elkhart Lake?

that’s what I stated above. This is the only way to go.

So when does the issue come out? ZLE is already nailed in the coffin, time to throw the dirt on top

Randy gave us a VERY POSITIVE REVIEW!

I think that a member who is on Twitter frequently should tweet Randy and ask about the lap times. I don't "twit." :-)

 

[V00D00]

I don't follow track times, but everyone was awaiting his review.
Is this normal not to post a time? I read his C8 review as well and no time there either.

If they dont post times, why all the suspense awaiting his review?

THAT is a VERY good question, V.

Looks like the CFTP plus the tire difference (not 100% on the tires) is 5 seconds faster around VIR

Probably true, but IMO any car guy should have a subscription. They have awesome content. Motortrend's recent videos are really good.

Pity Ford doesn't see the value of engaging Cosworth for their PDR

And where is the corresponding in-depth track writeup (with lap times) that MT posted for the C8?

Majority of that difference is the tires. The base GT500 tires are okay for daily driving, way better than the cup2 and will last longer.

Nope. A couple seconds maybe. The majority is Aero and wheels.

Keep in mind, the ZL1 was around 5 seconds slower around VIR than the ZL1 1LE.

Majority of the difference in both sets of cars are the tires. Add down force and the suspension and the weight of the wheels and then you get the massive difference.

Right, so everyone who buys the carbon and ZLE are idiots? All they had to do is buy new tires?

You really need to stop with things you obviously don't understand.

changing camber and cold temp pressures for the C8 test done on the same outing was worth 1.8 seconds. So a wheel and tire change (not to mention aero) should be worth a bit more.
