And the zl1 went 2:50.1 in 2017.

The GT w/ PP is impressive

The GT350 technology trickled down into the PP2 cars. And the 5.0 keeps making more and more hp/tq. Closing the gap on the GT350 for sure. As well as on the ZL1's time the year before. Pretty good deal for the money. The SS 1LE Camaro is the same as well. There are some good options for the "Every day" person looking to have some fun.


I like the looks of that GLC63S. And it seems to be very capable as well. I wonder what SUV are similar to its times.

You haz zl1 1le?!

My hero

Sidenote: the gt350, which i was never terribly impressed with to begin with, keeps getting less and less impressive lol

The car was impressive when it was first released. The issue is now it is long in the tooth and not changing any. Other cars are getting better year after year. Including the Mustang GT PP2.

that mustang is scooting, sounds like they should have spent a few more bucks on it though too.

The 2016 non-track pack GT350 had the same issues. Without the coolers for the trans and rear end, they would overheat and put the car in limp mode.

Bean counters trying to save money most likely. Shame if that is going to hold these cars back. They offer aftermarket diff cooler kits but just adds more cost to the car. That is a shame.
