1LE vs GT Track Pack

How much more time would the 1LE have taken to run the extra 1,300 feet that the BOSS/LS ran. How much less time would the BOSS/LS use to run 1.55 miles instead of 1.8 miles.

Something tells me they did run the 1LE on the 1.8 mile circuit and they didn't like the results. I could be wrong.

Wrong. Willow Springs was never a 1.8, it was a typo on the website. It has always been 1.6, and every comparison they've done on that track has been 1.6. They cover it in this video. Welcome to the forum

One day we will Finally get a true comparison and the outcome will be close, for me not big enough difference to spend $6k more.

Oh,btw now that I have seen this video I cant get over not having one yet. I just might have to step up my schedule, but I feel I have to wait for the LS7 option....

The BOSS/LS has an established time at Streets of Willow Springs. It would have been easy enough for whoever tested the 1LE to use the 1.8 mile circuit and show without a doubt it would be quicker. They chose not to for some reason. Something tells me they did and didn't like the results.

I think that may be the end of the argument...no more legs to stand on.

No, that's the sound of a Mustang owner quietly crying.

They need to call again. The track can be configured several different ways, anywhere from 11 to 19 turns. You need to look that up.





You must believe the 1LE ran only .8 slower around the same curcuit then a car that weighs 500#s less, has better suspension, better weight distribution, lower center of gravity, better wider tires and has 200 more horse power. That car would be the ZR1! Where do you get that kool-aid, I can't find it around here.

Not if they're still referring to the "Streets" lap for the Boss LS he mentioned.

I didn't say the BOSS would kill it! I don't know which would be quicker. I think they need to be ran on the same track configuration and see which is quicker. I have said the 1LE should have crushed the Mustang GT with a Track Pack. It should have it was designed to compete against the BOSS/LS.

No koolaid just different drivers.

That does have some to do with it! You have to get someone who is not biased. Again I would love to see them tested on the same curcuit! Less conjecture then.
