ZL1 does VIR in 2:52.38 (Video inside)
Not bad!! In comparison the 2011 GT500 ran a 2:58 I believe. The ZL1 was developed to compete with the 2011 GT500 and surpass it. They certainly did, but with Fords latest Shelby GT500 with 650hp 600tq and tuned suspension....this should make for an exciting matchup. Im curious to see Fords latest creation go up against the ZL1!! Competition is awesome! Cant wait till they put them up head to head in all categories.

The '13 has the Torsen differential like the Boss 302. It is the main rason the Boss handles like it does. I need one!
"There's nothing the engineers could do about the Mustang's solid rear axle, which still causes handling disruptions over rough roads (though it's fine on the track). Actually, there was one thing they could do. They put in a Torsen helical differential. The diff's an option on the base Boss 302, and standard on the Laguna Seca edition, but it's such great piece of kit that bumps the Mustang into a realm of premium handlers. Unlike a limited slip, the helical system uses gears instead of slipper clutches or plates. As the car enters a turn, the helical-cut gears push against each other and slide into engagement. Accelerating out of a turn, the diff prevents spin of the inside wheel, while distributing torque to the outside wheel, which rotates the car through the corner and mitigates push. It goes a long way toward giving the Boss its surprising cornering precision so consider the Torsen diff a must-have."

sounds like the same thing as a true-trac. uses gears instead of clutch packs.
yes you can use the torsen diff. as long as you buy the one for the 8.8
