I read somewhere that a properly equipped 13 GT500, i assume that means 'base' model with recaro's, will be well into the
3700lb range...
Also to the guy that said ZL1's are putting down 540 rwhp, please post up a dyno sheet showing those numbers? Stock...
Most of the dyno numbers i have seen are between 475 to 515 rwhp...
Lastly, to all the people still going on about how the GT500 won't beat/compete with the ZL1 on the road course, I'll leave you with this...
The 13 GT500 accelerates WAY faster than the Z.
The 13 GT500 brakes MUCH better than the Z.
The 13 GT500 EQUALS the cornering G's of the Z.
What do you guy's think all of that will equate to on a road course?
For everyone saying/thinking the Z will DOMINATE on a road course is kidding themselves. I'm not gonna sit here and say it's gonna be one way or the other, but I'm not gonna be naive about the whole thing either.
If i were yall, i would try the more humble approach at this point because these match ups are coming, and coming real soon. We all saw how everyone's speculation that the "puny" 285 tires would just sit and spin... We all saw how the base price didn't turn out to be those outrageous numbers everyone was saying... etc etc...
Is there a chance it could go either way? Maybe. But with what's out in the open right now, i don't see how anyone could be declaring a victory for the Z on a roadcourse...
