Automobile mag: Zl1 vs. GT500

[mustangmike6996]

As long as the 500 smacks the ZL1 in the 1320 I'm happy. I don't like turning and braking all the time. I prefer to brake once as I turn on to the return road

He then proceeds to bash the GT500 for its manners on the drag strip.

Despite saying in the first installment: "

"This test is about which car can turn a lap fastest."

and declaring it a walk over when the GT500 loses on a 2 mile rd course by 7/10ths of second.

The "objective" author states the following when the ZL1 loses a 1/4 mile drag race by 6/10ths of second and 10mph:

"Every single pass in the GT500 and ZL1 was a ball, and was so involving that we couldn't care less about our time slips."

Now I fully admit I am biased due to my place of employment however I am friends with people on Team ZL1 and we have both shared our mutual respect and I do think the ZL1 is a great car but I perosnally feel this author is VERY FAR from objective.

I am waiting for C&D and MT and I fully recognize the GT500 will not win everything everytime but this author doesnt cut it.
