I really wish they would have had some road coarse times but it pretty much went down like I expected it in the slalom and skid pad. that is not the end all of data though.

Well I guess now it all depends what more important to you out of the box ...

A stock SS is supposed to do 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds??? Why is the ZL1 so slow?

Z handles better and is easier to use the power per the review. For most novice drivers the Z is the much better choice

As for the video, it's what we've all known since Ford announced the '13 GT500 - Ford has the edge in a straight line, and GM has the edge in handling. It's all about personal preference, and my choice is of course the ZL1. Both Awesome cars though

The mods are headers, exhaust, tune, suspension tweaks, and wheels/tires.....correct?

GT500 no longer a competitor to the ZL1
Since the GT500 is now producing more HP than the Corvette, it should not be compared to the ZL1. Especially since the Blue Oval guys do not have or had any vehicles that competed directly with the Corvette since the late 50's. With the push by Ford to bump the HP to Corvette levels, it's only fair to compare the GT500 to it.
Of course there have been some Mustang guys here that probably have begun that comparison since it does exceed the ZL1 by a fair margin when it comes to the straight line contest. It seems that is the most prominent and dominant discussion between the two camps since a large majority view it as the least expensive option on the basis of entrance fee at a sanctioned track. But I believe either way, it's a proposition not for the faint of heart when it comes to doling out the wallet for each hobby. There are those from the Chevy camp that want the ZL1 to compete with the GT500 but I think it is a better comparison to the Boss LS since it is their twisty track star and there already has been comparisons from the mags. Ford, in my opinion, has quietly begun it's progression to competing with Corvette. Maybe not the ZR1, yet, but definitely with the Z06. It's my own opinion that I don't think that Chevy will come out with an HP increase for the ZL1 until the Corvette does also, but that is left to speculation, which both camps like to engage in. I think that if the Ford boys want to have there day in the sun, so be it, but it's just obvious that Ford's intention all along was not to compete with the ZL1. Yes, there will be those of you that will counter that Al O. stated that we would give the GT500 something to think about, but even he could not predict what kind of monster they would produce and what their true intentions were. The numbers don't lie.
