nah, a gear shift in the middle of the track won’t make that much of a difference in MPH. especially since they have no lift shift in the zl1. that big a difference in MPH is just straight up HP/WEIGHT doing work. ---

Both cars are sick, and awesome performing but HOLY FUCK does Ford need to do something about the interior on that thing. It’s fucking terrible. I understand it’s a purpose built car, but still. ---

The ZL1’s interior feels great IMO. Then again, these units are fresh off the line with like a mile on them :rofl I still don’t like that the dashboard in the Camaro’s is huge and feels like you’re looking over something to see the road. I’ve sat in the new GT500’s too, they just feel plain as fuck. I don’t even want to get into the Chrysler products(read: SRT line up, excluding 300 SRT). Feels like I’m sitting in a Dodge Journey in a new Charger and feels like you’re sitting in a Dodge Caravan in the Challenger, aside from a few differences obviously. ---

GM is switching to the ATS platform for the next gen camaro anyway. The ATS weighs in around 3400lbs so imagine that with a small block. This car is more of a G8 coupe. ---
