If it was just about going straight, they wouldn't have comparos, they would drag race and go home. They did have AAR Cuda, Camaro Z/28, Mustang GT and Javeline AMX racing against each other in a whole series, right ? ... S.C.C.A.. It was about the complete car or factories would not have competed
I was an SCCA Solo II guy so I look at entire cars. ZL1 "told the Boss to shove it" because it beat Mustang Laguna Seca at a track. That's how it came out.
In the December 2014 Road and Track Performance Car of the Year competion, Camaro Z/28 turned a 54.66. Hellcat turned a 56.37. In 2013, the Camaro ZL1 turned a 55.86 and the Shelby 500GT turned a 56.19. The Shelby can't go more lapse because the stock 4 piston Brembos will fade and you will off course or wreck. They are great for straight lines or street racing but not a track. That was at the Motown Mile outside Detroit. If you want to drive something faster than the Z/28 bring over 130K. Bang for buck Camaros are AWESOME.
If you look at the top 101 fastest cars in Nurburgring, the current Shelby is not on that list. Camaro Z/28 is 38, the ZL1 is 47, and the CTS-V is 97. Ford... the GT is at 75, and Shelby of any kind is nowhere to be found. The new one would coast off into the woods with those brakes.
