+1. Van said he didn't experience any.

Can anyone confirm that the GT500 had operational brakes after one lap?

If you look closely at the new HE+pump and inter-cooler (seen pics of it), you'd notice Ford learned from the 03+ SC cars about fixing the heat soak issues, or at least delaying them more than previous years.

Wow , This settled it for me, going to pick up a 13 Gt500, tune only Gt500 >modded(pullies etc) Zl1 with after market wheels/tires. People can say what they want about the Gt500 but realitys gonna be a bitch when green flag waves.

It's just so disappointing seeing vid after vid of the ZL1 getting spanked everywhere.

I think a few decent mods to keep it cool and maybe a ported blower will wake it up quite a bit.

Not to add fuel to the fire BUT you shouldn't have to mod your ZL1 to compete with a stock gt500 especially after all the hype GM put out about the car.... You can say what you will in the end the msrp is even lower on the stang. And avoids the gas guzzler tax....

I dont want to disclose mods on each car, but neither was "bone stock". They were both very close to it, but not stock completely.

Was that a 458 Italia or Viper? Watching in a iPhone 3 and can't make it out. In either case, that's the car I want to replace the Boss.

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 he is pulleid town, that may have contributed to the reported heat soak issues. The driver of the zl1 is plenty skilled. Looks like a fluid change on the gt500 works well.
