I remember some members here thought the GT500 CFTP would be faster than the Viper ACR. Clearly not.

The GT500 might have fast hero laps, but how does it hold up in 35min or 45min sessions on the track?

Any one who actually believed that was off their rocker. The ACR has gone as fast as 1:28.xx at LS.

Two vastly different cars with vastly different purposes. We can appreciate both for what they are capable of.

that was @LostM because of the stopwatch time ppl were doing at grattan. We already know its too heavy of a pig to complete.

Can't wait for the C8 numbers tho, the c8z will be a killer. curious how they will keep weight down tho since the regular c8 is already over 3500lbs.

While I never thought it was a 28 I did think it would be faster. I was thinking 33 flat. I was wrong. I also that the F8 and L Evo would be faster than 32.

Even with the very impressive feats the FP engineers were able to accomplish in terms of performance and 'feel', a not-ideal 4K+ lbs weight bias is still 4K+ lbs. Can't get around that. You still have to accelerate/stop/turn all of that.

Lol, something might be off if the c8 runs 2 seconds slower than the C7 GS.
Actually the C7 GS is substantially faster than the C8 around the track. Several independent testers on YouTube have driven both back to back. I’m not sure why people assume the base C8 is supposed to be a world beater.

I forgot to mention, Car and Driver tested the C8 against the C7 Z51 same day. At Grattan the C8 was only .9 seconds faster if I remember correctly.

Comparing times from morning to afternoon on the same day can be dicey enough, let alone different years.
From what I understand from a member over at CF who witnessed the hot laps, said the C8 was done in the peak heat for the day.

Oh but it’s faster than the new GT500. Everyone said that....

Would also love to see how the non CFTP would have done with Randy driving. Curious how much of a difference there is in times.
