You obviously have never been other wise common sense would have told you to buy a N/A car instead of a S/C car if that was your thing. The ZL1 is a wonderful car, but it cant defy physics...
Btw, it may be my second post but I am not short on knowledge of cars. I have been a visitor here for a while and just decided to become a member.

I think I have made that pretty clear. I never claimed the ZL1 to be superior. Did you see me write that?
1.) I chose a ZL1, because for me it was what I wanted. I based the decision on several criteria. I have it and must say I am not at all disappointed. It is a very nice automobile.
2.) The 2013 GT500 is truly awesome as well. If I were a Mustang fan I would be giddy about it. Note, I have owned Mustangs as well. The new 5.8L engine is an awesome achievement for Ford. Kudos to them, really. The car is just not for me. I could have one if I wanted one but I just do not want one.
3.) I didn't purchase my ZL1 to be able to dominate a GT500. That would be foolhardy.
4.) Performance numbers for the 2013 GT50 are just starting to be released. We need to let this play out and get a good cross section of numbers from various sources. At some point the two cars will be put together for a real head to head. After a few head to head reviews we will have a better idea how these two stack up. I suspect they will be very close. We will see.
5.) My personal opinion is the Ring is a great measuring stick. I would like to see how the 2013 GT500 does there. Pretty simple. Ford should take their best hot shoe over there and get their best lap. Let's see it. I can't be the only person that would love to see this. If it smacks the ZL1 around, then hail to the chief.
Does this clear it up a bit?
