It had better be, or epic fail for FoMoCo. Look at how much groaning occurred on the Mustang forums when the 2015 GT performance was compared to the SS and SRT.

ONE other better lap time. The ZL1 still wins 3-2-1 which is remarkable for a heavier, lower-powered, less expensive car. More importantly we saw in the various articles the limitations of the GT500 on the track. Hopefully, 3 years later, Ford has finally given us a worthy ZL1, Z/28 competitor.
