I do understand what they men about the difference. It takes more skill to drive the Boss 302 fast. And that wild streak the Mustangs have can be fun. But day in and day the more competent car holds up over time. Still, I'd like one of each.

If you (anyone) track a car at all you want to say that your ride is confidence inspiring and that your not fighting the car.

Sure, I agree. Yet taming a wild thing such as a car, horse, or girl can be loads of fun.

Haven't tried the horse option. Bucket list that one.

I'll agree with that, however it (all 3) WILL quickly grow very tiresome.

The qualities they mention are not what one wants in a track car. There were no positives in what they liked, they just liked it for its (?) lack of ability. On the other hand they had nothing but positive remarks and positive results for the 1LE.

Yes the ZL1 did not win in all categories, but what they enjoyed was its enhanced refinement, some even calling it "sports car" like in it's track ability.

There is NO irony as these are 2 very very different things.

And my sports car riding like a Cadillac is not what I want in my pony car. Nor do I want a computer nanny , I don't want it refined, But that's not the point. Bc I know I'm in the minority there lol

My point after re reading the thread was that I was In the wrong lol. I glanced over thread quickly earlier and thought I saw people complaining that they picked the boss on subjective stuff. As I re read that is not the case so I will admit I am wrong here. Carry on lol

Here's 2 Journalists test driving 2 track cars:

-The first one goes off track and says: -"Heeehaaa! Wow that was amazing. This is a realy fast car! Their wasn't enough brakes to stop me but I managed to control the understeer with a power slide, kool."

-The second one replies: -" Ya I saw you from far away in my rear view mirror...looked like fun! My car did not do that at all, on the contrairy it was sticky and well balanced, kinda Boring!."

You win. I'll grin. I bought my car knowing something better would come along, which is cool, I change cars all the time on a whim. Only I truly love this car so it's saying. It's as they say "The raucous Mustang installs itself in your subconscious with the viciousness of a drug addiction. Despite knowing there's an objectively better alternative with a Chevy badge, we are lured back to the Boss again and again. Its responsive chassis, competent handling, and brawny engine strike us in a psychological weak spot where emotions overrule sensibilities. We'd never question someone for making the rational choice of a Camaro SS 1LE, but reason be damned, the Boss 302 is the car we want."

It's been a very long time since I've loved driving a car this much.

I can definately respect that!

I will say that with the exception of a couple of Mustang guys it's strange how quiet they are in this thread compared to the ZL1 threads. Hmmmmm wonder why? Is the typical Mustang guy more of a 1/4 mile guy?

[shaffe]

No, I don't have any numbers to see and I'm a numbers guy ask golden bear lol.

I will say I am shocked that the 1le appears to that much faster, but if it is good for team camaro, they hit their target succesfully
