Do you think the zl1 would be quicker through the corners? How? What advantage would it have?

It is so adorable to see that the z28 has fans so faithful that they not only ignore the tire advantage, but deny it is an advantage. Any two cars, owned by any two person, wanting to road race for the best times, will both pick the stickiest tires possible such that the winner shall be found by the merits of the car or of the driver. Given the same driver for both cars, only the merits of the car will be proven superior. I would like to see the merits of the car seen superior....either car.

Clever. I'll put winter snow tires on my car and summer performance tires on yours, we'll go race around a track. I bet you'll feel you won fair and square, right?

"According to Mr. Wyndham's interview with John Fitzpatrick (LINK) the mysterious course where the z/28 proved to be 3 seconds faster than the ZL1 is the MRC, or Milford Road Course.

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…" I really think it was supposed to be a slap in ford's face.... not the ZL1. |

It's not our fault you can't grasp the concept that the Z/28 was built for maximum track performance with a VIN while the ZL1 was not. So you arguing that the Z/28 has a tire advantage and that isn't fair is not a rational argument. I'm not ignoring the tire advantage. You are ignoring that they are two completely different cars. |

Obviously you haven't experienced mag ride. For proof of its effectiveness, look where the zl1 places in ring times among more powerful, more aerodynamic, much (1000lbs) lighter cars, that have race suspension and awesome chassis. The ZL1 does not belong there with that company, physics defying mag ride version 3 proves itself. I have driven some of those cars and they all should be faster than the Camaro, any Camaro. It was just the mag ride that got it there with its ability to constantly and quickly adjust to changing track surfaces at the ring. Only way to make a.brick.faster is to make it stick better I guess.
