Because those cars were finalists in their Best Driver's Car competition for 2012.

GT500--$65,000
Porsche 911S--$100,000
Not too shabby for a $58,000 car. The cars it beat: The Jag is $135,000 and the Benz is $125,000.

I agree 100% for $58,000 you get a great car or better yet add $10k to $15k and you have a 8-9 sec ZL1 which makes it faster than the Eventador or McClaren & keeps it below or about Gt500 price and a lot less than GTR-$90,000.

Also think about how much it would cost to make the 1st, 2nd, 3rd place car into an 8 second car and still have a car warranty. Hennessey Performance does this and is sure to do a great job.

Repost...but still cool.

DanSS24 · 08-24-2012, 05:47 PM

Does anyone know if they use an owner/customer car, MT bought the car, manufacturer loan, or any other persons car to do this test? I have a hard time believing it's on loan just for testing.

ZL1 is still awesome. Love my car.

Maniature · 08-24-2012, 05:58 PM

atleast they put the ZL1 upfront

!!!

zogster · 08-24-2012, 06:01 PM

I don't understand the cars they decided to use, but I don't know all of the rules. I'm guessing the previous year's winner stays and new cars get added.

For instance, why did they pick the 911 they picked and not a more powerful one?
