Car & Driver GT500 vs. ZL1 Comparison

Huh? Not sure where you got "189 average both directions" but the Motor Trend test video shows they got 196 in the high altitude and heat of the desert. They also got 580/590 to the wheels, not too shabby.

The track they tested on, they took an average of top speeds going different directions, to rule out tailwinds. They did hit 191 one way, but the average of both directions was 189.

plus they didn't even use the 3.73s in the gt500. wtf.

Because they wanted to see if it could hit 202 as advertised. No way that would happen with 3.73's.

Oh, and here's the 1/4 miles times they got with them.

GT500 11.8 @125
ZL1 12.3 @118

Yeah shows power and how much of a slaughter it would be from a roll

The Big Three have been submitting "ringers" for some articles since Jesus wore short pants. Car and Driver also submitted a shit-ton of calculations showing WHY it didn't hit 200mph. Remember the fiasco with '99 Cobra's? One little production glitch can easily make the difference between 191 and 202. I get C&D, Motor Trend, and MMFF, and all of them have varying opinions on the Shelby. One thing they all agree on...it IS bad to the bone.
