I've been looking for the video) vs. the GT500. There might be something to it.

Listen everyone knows that the majority of the braking is from the front. If you can get a car to stop "flatter" by getting the rears to do more work you disrupt the cars balance less and therefore go through a turn better.

You never did say which car you were faster in. There's a reason why professional drivers get better course times out of the ZL1 more often than not. There is more to going fast around a track than Horse Power. It's a total package. Now down the 1/4 mile HP/TQ is way more pertinent.

That might be why they stick to those little rear brakes to facilitate Drag Radials.

You do realize that in the h2h matchups between the ZL1 and 500 it was basically a split correct? Stop hanging your hat on the lightning lap which is not valid as the cars were not run on the same day, nor in the same conditions.

I'll mention this again. Real world racing 5.0 vs SS or ZL1 vs 500, the mustang wins 90% of the time in the 0-60, 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, street light to streetlight, roll race, and top speed. The 500 splits the track racing with the ZL1. So I ask what is the better performance car for the street? But hey I guess when you get blown away in any of the above you can say . but my car won the lightning lap and is easier to drive
