Don't make the mistake of reading too much into that .98g figure.
On a skidpad, the torsen seems to hold the car from max performance but in the real world it creates a mechanical safety net so spirited driving is very confidence inspiring.
The 24.2 second figure 8 time at .8g's is much more telling of the cars capabilities. The 2011 gt500 put up 1g in c&d's test. Not a big deal; different setup is all.
Here's a pic of the 2011 svtpp's states ala c&d.
Here's c&d's zl1 test.
We all know the zl1 out does the 2011 svtpp by a good bit on a handling course.
I think we will all be impressed by the 2013 gt500 on a handling course side by side with a zl1. Time will tell.
