Again, given the ZL1's technology, I believe that handling is what the ZL1 primary intent is. If straight line performance is all that interests one, then I think that the ZL1 is probably not the appropriate vehicle for that individual.

What does a Tokyo Drifter or Yakuza have to do with a ZL1 discussion?
Figure of speech. But I understand your point entirely and I agree. If I were interested in carving corners at LS or any other track I would sincerely consider a ZL1, but for the price, the Boss offers a good alternative. Also, the ZL1 has very nice tires from the factory which is something the Ford engineers need to consider.
