I'm sure the other fans are praying it wins because if not... well you know what then... for the ZL1 it's a win win... when your the underdog, you have nothing to loose but everything to gain in an upset.....

I generally try to do a pretty solid job of trying to understand, and at least attempt to validate, in my own mind, the opposing point of view.
I'm not sure I can do it here.
You're saying that if this super technical awesome track car in the ZL1, beats the GT500, with it's tiny 285 tires, archaeic suspension, that already handled like hell with 550 hp then it's a fail for the GT500?
I know there are hundreds of opinions but this one just might have become my favorite C5 thought.
Then you go further stating about how the ZL1 has nothing to lose. A car that had been touted as "beyond the pony car league" that would defeat the 2013GT500 in every single performance metric, and that the chief engineer put on such a lofty cloud, is somehow an underdog.
I guess it's just the way I interpreted the post, but you've created yourself an out for every possible combination of performance comparisons that will come out.
I'll post my own just for the record. New GT500 thumps the ZL1 on the drag strip, and very likely whoops it around VIR as well. If I'm wrong, please remember to call me out and I'll apologize/retract my comments.
PS: I had a baby yesterday! Figured I'd throw that out there. Babies>ZL1s and GT500s together.
