Not only run with it - The 2012 GT 500 would flat out beat it if these times are the norm in the real world.

Lol. My 4 door family car is faster, bone stock, with all 3 car seats in the back.
I'm all for the hp wars between ford and gm. I was a die hard mustang guy, until they went retro in 2005. My last 3 cars have been gm's. I think I can safely cross a zl1 off my list of cars to buy. Hopefully, this car was just an anomaly. I still think gm should have made stock boost 10psi. |

Lol so funny. After I posted that, I said the hell with it. Going out for a cruise now. What better way to feel better. Thanks for the kind words.

That's a real shame. I proved to you by linking the video that the quarter mile times were a part of the ZL1 package, design, and planning. Denial is not a river in Egypt. Also, this Nürburgring time gives me a good grin. There will be many more who will take the car to the local strip versus flying the car over to Germany. What, about <1% will run the 'ring? I will also guarantee you the amount of people taking their cars to the track will be far greater than those taking it to a local road course. What is going to be so funny is guys like yourself (maybe not you) who claim yesterday and today that this is not a strip car, yet (for example) Motor Trend runs a 12.0 in it, then the naysayers who stated that the car was not for the strip, will come out stating different. Where you don't get it, this guy does. Quote:
...............at the end of the day, it's just a car. Whether it is a great, very good, or good car will be determined in the next couple of years.

I was mentioned that the pass might have all the nannies on. I would hope they'd put it into the right mode for this pass. but until they can answer that question we won't know.

-Yes, I did look at the charts for the Lingenfelter. My question to you is: Did you look at the "right" one? The uppermost dyno chart (the one that says "drag strip configuration, VP109 fuel, 2.38" pulley...race fuel calibration") shows boost mostly just under 13psi and peaks to 15psi @ 6,250rpms. -They gave a temp of 79*f and a calculated DA of 1690. -You are mistaken.....I have absolutely NO HATE at all for the ZL1. In fact, I was a ZL1 "fan-boy" way back when it was just a rumor that a supercharged Camaro was in the works. But I am extremely dissapointed in the apparent stock 1/4 mile performance....enough to where I'm considering "all other options" for my next car.

I am sorry you are thinking of another vehicle because of one posted time. The dyno on the HPE car doesn't look right to me, and several others. I do expect them to get better times if they re-run the car. especially if the car gets broken in. but we will see. |

I fully agree. We are way early in the game. Give it some time because there are far more results to come.

Like you guys said though, we'll just have to wait and see what happens when more of these things start showing up at the track.
