The original goal, I thought, was to pit these 2 cars against each other since the gt500 supporters here were getting irritated with the unfairness of the biased mags.

I've been wondering this since I read it, did Randy experience brake pad fade or bake fluid fade?

From they way it was described in the article it sounds more like brake pad fade. Although it's...

I would say brake fade is a product of heat. Which can be alleviated with proper pads, rotors, fluid and cooling. I'm sure you know more about this than I do.

You kind of contradicted yourself there. You say its one of the most advanced, if not the most, advanced suspension systems on a car. Then at the same time no one is supposed to be impressed. What...

If this is supposed to be a response to the brake fade issue that Mr. Pobst encountered, sorry, but it doesn't convince me. No offense to you but I trust Randy's ability to push the car more and I...

I really don't know the actual skill level of either driver. Van mentioned he was an instructor so obviously he has quite a bit of experience.

If they redesign the camaro to be like the viper for 55k count me in! In the meantime I'm waiting for my blue ray metallic zl1, which may take a few months. I will buy which ever comes out first!

So basically Van 1 - Torq 0.

And Torq did a pulley tune, right? If he was a skilled driver he should been able to hold his own without it.

If you look close in the video around 9:10 you can see the dash. It looks like the non-nav configuration. I'm not 100% on this but that's what it looks like to me.

It will be interesting to see if in a year or two they offer the ZL1 in Europe. I know they sell all the vettes and the Camaro SS there. Lots of tracks there too. Would be fun.

Yes, I think the big IF gets ignored by some here.

Road course the gt500 needs mods to keep up. 1/4 mile the zl1 needs mods to keep up.

And we're back to the endless mod loop equation.
