Honestly I don't think the statement was even made to compare the 2. It seems like it was more of a slap in Fords face than anything....



"The 1LE already proved faster than the Boss 302, which is no longer sold anyways. So were you competing with anybody with the Z/28, or did you just want to show off?

Let me put it this way. The Z/28, in our initial testing at the Milford Road Course (MRC) is three seconds faster than the ZL1. The ZL1 beat the GT500 there by three seconds. You can do the math from there…"




In other words it wasn't really built to compete with anything specific. It was just built to the max because they wanted to make a statement. JMO
