GM has a LONG history of supplying 'factory optimized' samples for magazine evaluation. Ford, for what ever reason, hasn't taken a similar path, in fact, much to the contrary, Good marketing, you decide.
And I suppose that I should have mentioned, who cares, none of those are relevant to the car as designed for intended purpose.

different days, different test conditions, and magazines sometimes "correct" data.... only true comparisons are done same day, heads up, side by side....

Agreed. But not as big a diff as the vid appears to show.
Look at the vid from 04:09 to 04:26-or-so. The ZR1 virtually disappears?
'Logic dictates the outcome should have been a whole lot closer distance-wise...especially given the 'speed' readout posted.
I understand optical illusions can and do occur when filming this-or-that...but, if that's what happened in this case - it was a dandy. ;-)
No, it really doesn't.
Anyone who has spent even a trivial amount of time participating in such racing in the real world would recognize this. Fikse is literally the single most recognized practitioner of such racing on the internet. You are bench racing, which is a very different concept.

Do I sense there is a race when the weather improves? I'm betting on our own Dr Frank for the win!

Ford chose correctly when they picked you, FikseGTS, for the NGT! Keep the videos coming! I love it.
