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.

yeah high teens is probably doable on the S550 GT500. Again, love the car, but saying it beats the ZLE around all tracks in the US is just demonstrably not true lol

Love the GT500, but can you provide a source for saying it would pull a 7:11-7:15 lap time?

That would be leaps and bounds faster than the lap times i’ve seen for it, which if memory serves is closer to 7:39. Manual ZL1 1LE put down a 7:16 flat, for reference.

Fun fact, the Viper ACR holds the record still for the fastest manual transmission Ring time, as well as fastest american car time at 7:01.3!
