That tesla is a freak of mankind. It ties in with the veyron to 60 mph but it has 4 doors and a lot of storage space.
Yes and after 60 the Veyron will oh so quickly leave it in the dust. The videos of the Tesla against super cars have the super cars destroying it above around 100. Bunch of torque off the line but then boredom as the electric motor loses torque at high rpm. Tesla desperately needs a transmission.

As a whole I'd agree that GM is leading with the suspension and chassis tuning.

But IMO that is simply because they are hanging their hat on the performance aspects, while Ford is going for a more well-rounded vehicle.

But the previous Camaro 1LE, Z/28, the G8/SS Sedan, the C7 Vette, the CTS and ATS, all have excellent handling and have been widely praised.

Ford has moments of greatness, Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Focus RS, GT350, and Ford GT. But in general I'd say the Fords tend to be less handling focused.

In terms of the Mustang specifically, all Ford needs to do is put the GT350 setup in the regular Mustang and they'd have a handling winner in the volume model as well.

What really pisses me off is the Internet articles stating that "dodge started the new age hp wars" what a Giant line of pure bullshit!!!! Ford was the first to bring back big hp with the GT500. These writers are full of shit

I think it would be an awesome commuter. Red light to red light... Bam. Great sleeper to the uninformed.

So 11.5 with the A10 in magazine testing. Not bad, but I suspect a lot of ZL1 fanatics were hoping for better times out of the A10 transmission.

Oh for sure. But I think 11.5 out of the mags isn't bad. I bet we will see very very low 11s from real people once they get their hands on the A10.

Probably so, yeah.

FI motors aren't as sensitive to DA changes as N/A motors.

But overall it is impressive. The review seemed to actually indicate they like the 1LE more.

It's definitely the more authentic track toy. But when they got the tire pressure and stuff dialed in, that 1:25.88 is pretty damn incredible lol. They need to do a head to head fast!

Head to head with what? The car is lapping faster than a grand sport corvette and a Mclaren 650s. You can buy one for 63 grand right now! What car is to compare in that price range?

I honestly don't care. I'd love to see an R, Grandsport, And ZL1.

It won't be fair aginst the gt350r! We need the 2018 model with an a10 auto or manual vs manual.
Well yeah. Manual VS manual will be the most equal fight for sure. That A10 in a VooDoo would be epic as well.
