[QUOTE="P5Boy, post: 16358447, member: 4879"] I thought it was a good preliminary Pony Car test. Randy even said he thought the GT500 would be faster if it had fresh tires. He said the GT500 was 10 mph faster on turn entry from straights... I still think it will be closer than folks expect... ...but, in no disrespect to the West Coasters here, the same shootout needs to happen at a track like VIR where big power pays off. I am "guessing" that the new GT500 could hit 170mph-ish on back straight and 160mph-ish on front straight. Probably even climbing esses exit faster than entry, say something like 130-135mph-ish... Not sure Big Willow is a good place for big factory horsepower in 4,000+ pound boats. Now, I'm wondering if Chebby upgrades the ZL1 1LE with a 2.something Eaton for say 50-70-80 more HP. The current ZL1 1LE uses the Z06 1.7L Eaton, so I would guess there's room for more? [/QUOTE]
