!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Which ones surprise you? For me it was the Focus RS is only one tenth of a second faster than the V6 1LE.

I had to share it to the local ST group I’m in where some have stated their ST could beat my SS in the corners.

Historical LL’s, #143. Cobalt SS.
Among those it beat is a brand-new P85D. Which, while not exactly a track car, has 2 1/2 times the power, a very low CoG and AWD.

Biggest surprises for me were the Camaros. Seriously. The V6 1LE equal to the FoRS? Damn. The SS 1LE only eight tenths behind a goddamn GT4 and over a second ahead of a R8 V10 Plus?? Fuuuuu.....

I think I read that they use different sets of drivers for all these cars right? Most of whom aren’t professional drivers. In which case the comparo is kinda junk.

That certainly makes the V6 ‘Maro more attractive

Was hoping the ZL1 would be included since it’s basically the 1LE with a supercharger. But hopefully next year there will be a Z/28 out there.

another surprising one, well not really: the GT350R didn’t beat the the previous gen Z/28.

I know in the hands of mear mortals we aren’t going to be able to tell a difference between the two.

I wasn’t surprised that the GT350R couldn’t take down the Z/28 either, just shows how amazing/great it was. I can’t wait to see how Chevy utilizes the new platform on a new Z/28.

I didn’t realize there was a 1LE V6 Camaro. That’s awesome.

Chevy is killing it. Hoping they make a new SS sedan for the next generation based on the Camaro SS (because I just can’t get on board with the Camaro’s styling, and I still need 4 doors for a while).

Hmm... That’s surprising, if true. Doesn’t have to be a pro, but should be one driver trying to get the best out of each. Credit to MT for using Pobst.

I was glad to see the Tesla P85D did the worst of 2016 by a large margin. I like the Tesla, but I absolutely hate the fan boys who only stop sucking Elon’s Musky dick to tell you how much it’s better then every car ever.
