Zl1 vs Shelby
Idk if everyone has already seen this article or not but they put the Zl1 and the Shelby head to head and the Zl1 came out on top in the end even tho the 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile times were slower. The 1/4 times for the Zl1 are kinda sad to me but the car wasn't built for that. Here is the article for anyone who hasn't seen it. http://www.insideline.com/chevrolet/...ison-test.html

Just goes to show, numbers don't tell the whole story!!
After a certain amount of horse power it's no longer who has the most but how you put it to the ground!! |

Sorry, but that's just a sad time for the ZL1. The guy in the post above is running better, and just has bolt ons. I'd be REAL disappointed if I dropped that kind of coin on a car, and that's all it could pull off. Yes, it's sexy as hell, but I would choose the Shelby for sure.

I've merged this so many times that I actually have to clean this up.

Add a bit of power to the ZL1 though I think the margin of lap time will go back ot the ZL1 though where the shelby might stay closer to the same. this video illustrated why I ordered the ZL1. on my last mustang I spend just as much money on suspension as I did power. on the ZL1 I will just need to add a bit of power I think the suspention will be good to go stock for me.

the ford camp will argue waranty claim but they don't waranty at the track anyway to begin with so there is a perspective there as well. even if I bought a PP/TP car and went to PIR for a track day I would have no waranty there.
