Camaro zl1 1le 2:45

 

[Goose17]

what was the 2019 camaro zl1 1le on VIR times I thought it got a 2:45 which to me is a better comparison for supercharge vs supercharge although at the GT500’s price point they are nowhere close

Very impressive!

There must be multiple courses on VIR. The one course that usually sets the standard is the grand course which the all time record holder is a McLaren Senna at 2:34. I would have love to seen with the CFTP 500 and C8 would do on that course. This is where Car & Driver sets its lightning lap contest every year.

The 2006 Ford GT did that course in 3:00. I am sure the new GT500 would crush that time.

By comparison the new Camaro Zl1 !LE did a blistering lap in 2:45. The regular GTR does it in 2:53 (Age has caught up with it). I suspect that the new GT500 could challenge and possibly beat the Camaro ZL1 time. That would put it in very elite company.

? Ford Mustang can't not to beat the monster ZL1 1LE Ford Mustang GT500 2:56 Virginia international Raceway ZL1 1LE 2:45 ???

There are several configurations, as with a lot of tracks.

VIR is still one of my favorite tracks to run.

I want to see if Ford will send the GT500 to the lightning lap. As of now they are refusing. They say they have no interest in track times??? This is a $95k track specific car vs a $75k street model. Put it against the C7 ZR-1, a much more apple to apple comparison, and it will get destroyed. Hell I bet the Camaro ZL-1 1LE would smoke it. Let alone when the C8 Z06 comes out. Ford will always be chasing the vettes taillights like it always has.

Did you sign up just to bash GT500s or do you have one and you simply don’t like it?

It's quite simple. They put Fords top production street car, the GT500 against Chevy's mid-level car. The Z-51 is the "Old Guys" Vette. The ZR1 will dominate the GT500 and the GT as well. This was a joke at best. I'm a Porsche guy myself so I've got nothing in this fight. The GT500 at VIR won't beat the ZL1LE. Every time the GT500 gets beat there's always an excuse. Lightning Laps will tell all.

The GT500 will not beat you up on the street. I have owned (3) ZL1’s, 17 ZL1 A10, 18 ZL1 1LE & a 18 ZL1 A10. The ZL1 1LE is the worse car I have ever owned. You will not win any races in it, & the suspension will beat the hell out of you on the street. The ZL1 1LE acceleration above 80 mph will make you Yawnnnn. You cannot even see out of the dang ZL1 😂. The ZL1 1LE’s suspension does not have any rubber in it.

It’s funny that the GT500 has been tested against some of these cars and even more track worthy cars and it has come out on top Of the tests or surprised the hell out of the testers as to how amazing it is.

you might want to ease up on your silliness until you spend some time researching some current performance reviews.

just a thought or of course I am totally wrong.

I will be interesting to see video of Speed Phenom once he got new 2020 GT500 Track compare to is C8, that I will respect is input!!!

Both are great cars, and I am so pumped that my C8 arriving at the dealer before end of the month.

Dealer are pumped too, first C8 for them too and seem first C8 in my state.

yes I am keeping my GT500!!!

You posted up a mid engine Vette going against a RWD Shelby? Wow amazing😂. It is the only arena the Vette wins in👍👍. What’s up with the Vette having to run 3 Deg’s of negative camber on the track? That is the only way to reduce understeer according to Randy Pobst.

Yes... I watched the video and when he said he was going to compare 0-60 times, I already knew what the outcome was and got a chuckle. Engine weight over the drive wheels is obviously a good advantage for getting out of the hole. It would be interesting to see where the Shelby passes the Vette when running 0-150.

Not taking part GT500 is better C8 or C8 is better than GT500. Again, both car are magnifique (french for beautiful), here a great comparison of both car from Speed Phenom on the track.
