Big Hammer, you are a smart guy. Help me out here.
They had professional race driver Randy Pobst take both cars out on the Inde Motorsports Ranch road course in AZ and the ZL1 lapped the 2.2-mile circuit 2.45 seconds faster than the BOSS. (This is the 5.0L vehicle vs the ZL-1).
"While the Mustang was a half-second faster around the track than the ZL1 on its best lap, it couldn't repeat the performance. By the end of the first lap, the brakes had already begun to heat up so badly, we could smell them from the pits as the car passed by on the front straight. By the end of the second lap, the SHELBY had lost more than half of its advantage over the ZL1, turning a 1:39.03. By the third lap, the Mustang was behind the Camaro, turning a 1:39.30. The ZL1, meanwhile, never deviated by more than two-tenths of a second."
So what is the car being tested? Is it a 5.0L BOSS or is it a Boosted SHELBY? TWO DIFFERENT CARS WITH TWO DIFFERENT POWERTRAINS. The article makes no sense, or you are mixing different articles/cars.
