ZL1 beats new GT500
Down 80 HP and 300lbs more, superior handling triumphs. Won't lie, I'm fairly impressed.

I wonder how the GT500 would compare with the same amount of tire the ZL1 runs. Never the less, kudos to GM for spending millions to be a little quicker than an ox cart.

I'm sure it will, considering the next gen Mustang will probably be 1000 lbs lighter than the Camaro.

Congrats to GM on the victory, still waiting to see more track results and tests. These two will definitely be so fun comparisons on different tracks, both ring & straight line.

I think GM knows that if they DON'T make the Camaro significantly lighter, it's game-over against the next-gen Moosestang.
