There were only two corners the LS made a little time on ZL1; the rest of the time it was pulling away; the only time ZL1 pulled away from pure power was the straight, where they had telemetry and data that showed it only gained .4 of a second. Considering the total lap time difference, ZL1 was still ahead, without power as the strength, by 2.5 seconds.
Let's not forget the competition tires LS rides on either. ZL1 is riding on max' performance tires - not competition tires. Those will grip better than the G2s. But that doesn't matter either...  Neither does the significant amount of weight advantage the LS has, too. |
When did I say that it was power only? I merely brought that up as a point along with the fact the ZL1 is in a higher league than the LS. The ZL1 loyalty has blinded you and a lot of other people here I guess. Again let me state this fact, not my opinion. The LS is a N/A, 5L V8 powered car with conventional shocks and a straight axle. The ZL1 is a supercharged, 6.2L powered car with magnetic shocks and a track inspired stability control. Not to mention the ZL1 is significantly more money. Should I be impressed at this outcome?? I'm not because that's what I would expect. How do you think a base SS would do against a LS? Different league of car. Chevy doesn't not have a car to compete with the Boss at this time. Show me how the ZL1 does against a 2012 GT500. That's a legitimate comparison.
