[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16306171, member: 83412"] Just came back from the IMSA races at Road Atlanta. I had the opportunity to spend time with George from MGW and his '19 ZR1 (looks to be near identical to yours Tony). To reiterate, this car is on a whole nother level in comparison to any S550 based production car. It is literally a fighter jet you drive instead of fly. George just bolted in one of his shifters and I was surprised to learn the factory shifter was no different than lesser C7 models - regardless, I highly recommend following in his footsteps. One thing I noticed. We drove the car from the dealer in Jacksonville, Florida, to Augusta, Georgia on a previous visit. I paid close attention to heat from the engine on the hood, the bubbled portion of the hood above the supercharger, the blower itself, etc. Hours after shutdown the heat was still immense. This time around, with more miles on the car, I used an infared temperature gun he had and noticed a decrease in temps with similar ambient temps and usage. Break-in has to be minimized what with synthetic oil, etc, but there was quite a difference from what I saw. I'll be interested to hear your comments on the same once you have yours. The ~50lb difference in the numbers you mentioned is clearly not in the seats. Once again, Ford is unclear as to specifics and weight. And it doesn't make sense that they still won't list the weight [i]specifically[/i] for the CFTP cars. That's all. [/QUOTE]
