I was looking through lap times of different production cars, and there are some wildly out of place cars doing ring laptimes, some cars are faster than they seem they should be, while others are slower than they should be. Which got me thinking how some cars truly get tested in showroom condition, and others get the “marketing” treatment to produce a laptime a showroom car would never touch, solely to sell more cars. Then I found this article that talks exactly about just that.

Cheaper too, zle is great, does sacrifice street livability for its times though, gt500 not so much.
Man you’re so right. A ZLE is a track car that can be driven on the street. I know of a few guys that daily them despite the stiffness, but for me the perfect daily would be the shelby.
I daily mine. It’s a ton of fun to be reminded you’re driving something special all the time. You won’t get bored. It also saves 400lbs vs the GT500, which should help slightly with consumables like brakes and tires.
