Exactly my point concerning the ZL1 had it been available with a looser setup. Hell, I can get my car with only 325-ish torque to throttle steer in 3rd gear at 40 - 45 mph without having to try all that hard, and when I try to translate that to putting a couple hundred more ft-lbs in the hands of someone with zero performance driving experience, not even autocross, I am not at all surprised by the way the ZL1 was configured. Even ST has limits to what it can correct for. A still looser Z/28, well . . .
