[QUOTE="Daffy, post: 11450114, member: 7210"] Interesting, are speaking from real world personal experience? Not challenging, just curious if you are getting passed out there on the track. This just hasn't been my experience on the road course, have yet to come across a vette thru my windshield that I didn't put in my rearview and then a corner behind within a lap, yes, including C6's and 2 Z's. I had a callaway that put up a good fight for almost a whole lap but the snake had her way. And I'm not picking on the vettes at all, I can say this about every car that's been on-track with my GT500. But I can only speak from my personal track experiences campaigning my GT500 these past 18 mos on two tracks, others may be seeing something different on their track days. I run in the mid-tier groups, not novice, not advanced (I don't have a permanent car number). And I don't mean to beat this horse, it's just that so many people spread this non-handing rumor (IMO) and even in drivers' meetings on track days people will ask who has the mustang, and are pre-apologetic about how it's so nice looking & powerful but will get dusted by WRXs and Miata's on-track, let alone the Vettes and Porsches. And by the end of the day I have guys asking what I've done to the chassis, to which I say absolutely bone stock, even the tires. It just gets old, but then it is fun passing someone who thought they were going to 'make you feel bad'. OK, I'll let it go now. [/QUOTE]
