Bottom line, obviously Ford already threw everything at the Mustang to ride out the remaining 2 years on this design. And stock does rise and fall on reviews. Stock values are mostly emotionally based.

If you think about it, it would make faaarrr more sense for Ford to offer a one-model-year-only Shelby GT 350 tribute version, built from the BOSS since it's apparently "going away"...and built with Michelin Pilot SS tires and the Track Key-only...

I know this offtrack,lol. But in the same issue of C&D they test a new viper against a zr1.
ZR1 was faster by 2 seconds at laguna. I couldn't find the article online, but I did find a motor trend article. It says the zr1and z06 hold the 1 and 2 spot for fastest production cars at LS Nuts! No mention of heatsoak or brake fade haha. Stopped from 60 in 91 feet! http://m.motortrend.com/roadtests/co...s/viewall.html |

As far as I'm concerned Mustang production was interrupted during the years 1974-1978 when the Mustang II was produced. I don't believe that the Mustang II was one of Ford's better ideas.

Heat soak really isn't a significant issue in this case. On the track, the heat exchangers are pretty efficient (especially if track temps are moderate). The stock ZL1 is very effective at controlling heat soak on the track... otherwise it never would have done so well on the Ring.
On a different topic... The difference between the GT500 and ZL1 will be magnified in the hands of ameteurs. Professional drivers may be able to get similar track times on some courses, but you'll find the ZL1 is much easier to drive fast in the hands of an ameteur driver. I've been to a track day with a ZL1. If I remember correctly, it was his first time and he was the fastest car out that day.
