[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16298254, member: 68944"] [USER=190070]@Klaus[/USER] The 6th gen zl1 in my experience is slighly slower than a stock trinity. But the trinity launches much easier, and has higher top speed. The 6th gen zl1 has more downforce and handles much better than the trinity. Both are great cars. What I also found great in motortrend was that the gt350r was .39 seconds off a gen 6 zl1 (manual) around big willow which is very very impressive considering that is definitely more of a high speed track.
