[QUOTE="93 347 Cobra, post: 16342083, member: 7047"] People getting salty about the ZL1 1LE barely pipping the GT500 and claiming it's a superior car because it costs less. It never ceases to amaze me the dim understanding some folks have over the differences between tires. Eagle F1 Supercar tires were fantastic on the 13-14 cars but only when in their ideal temperature range. They would go plastic at moderate temps. Guys switched to MPSSs because of this. Anything under 75 they were slippery. 80-90+ degrees they gripped like hell. The newest version on the ZL1 is undoubtedly a superior track tire to the Michelins MPS4s but not on the level of the Cup 2s. So a 1-second difference with a better tire on a track-focused model running on spool valve shocks isn't impressive. They can hate all they want but the GT500 and especially the CFTP is on another level. [/QUOTE]
