Wrong, go back and reread my quotes. Not comfort, control.

And many years ago, some track drivers felt that same way they hated the thought of power steering and power brakes in racing thinking they would lose the "feel" untill they saw the advantages.

Just consider it the next level in racing technology.

I can see the ZL1 going high, certainly not winning.

I also see it running a slower time at the track, and the ultimate drag.

For the most part I think the track times will be very comparable. It will get eaten alive in the drag. The Lambo runs 10's in the quarter and the McLaren and Porsche should perform much the same.

If the test were for fastest laps it would be at the bottom of the list but it will fare well in the Best Driver's Car test.
+1

This isn't about lap time.

I have no idea who will win, and don't want to hazard a guess, but I do believe the ZL1 will do quite well, and the GT500 not as well, based on the criterion, and how vocal they were about it in the video.

This will be so cool. These are the type of comparison reviews that I like. It is just like Need for Speed The Run mixed competition mode. The euro fanboys get so pissed when you win a session with the ZL1.
