IMVHO -- the Ford fans "screaming for a '12 to '12 comparison"...really ought not to be screaming. Given Randy Pobst's great respect for the Boss, I feel he was able to give it props where he could, despite its loss. I don't think the '12 GT500 would have done very well at all in a similar comparison.

You're right. The key, though, is consistent vs fast. 10/10 times LC will get you an impressive time...while doing it yourself might get you there a little quicker even a pro-driver can botch up a manual launch from time to time - weekend warriors like us will mess up more often.
That said -- I'll be practicing both ways up until the Fest...hopefully I can get the hang of racing from a dig without computer help by then.

Zl1 is a sweet ride....but reading some of these threads, I'm starting to think the ZL1 can cure cancer.

If you breathe the exhaust in time with the firing order...it might!
