That means he must be doing it himself by heel toe downshifting. Takes some young eyes like my own to see the gear on the tac.

The speedo on the side was for reference only, not actual one from car. It only had 2 colors, white and yellow. You can hear the rev match was on.

Ha Ha... I had to make that decision and I can tell you it wasn't easy.
Mr. W went one way and I went the other, but our text messages were 35 pages long during the decision making process.

I'd love to see a "Track Reconfiguration Quick Conversion Kit" in the 2019 GM Performance Catalog for the ZL1 1LE. That would really make it the Cats Meow.

Deprecating others to cure your "issues" is rather a poor strategy. In actuality both forms of racing (track/drag) require honed skill sets, preparation, and abilities. Both cars require pushing a button to start them as well! ��

Just like Vette has the Grand Sport with Z07 attributes, all the STD ZL1 needs is 1) an aero (1LE) cosmetics option for about $1195 and 2) wheel/tire option from (available on both stick and auto) for a very modest $795 incremental cost (once you figure the credits on the replaced items). No need to rebadge the car for these modest options. Retain the stock ZL1 shocks/suspension.

Im thoroughly shocked at the time i guessed somewhere in the 19's

The 5th gen Z/28 didn't have as large of a gain over the ZL1 because it took a power hit to remain naturally asperated. It actually had more lbs per hp than the ZL1. The ZL1-1LE loses weight, retains same power while adding extreme aero the the gen5 Z/28 didn't have

2012 ZL1 7:41:27
2014 Z/28 7:37:47
Time difference = 3.8 sec
Power difference = -75 HP
Torque difference = -75 lb-ft
Weight difference = -283 lbs (4,120 vs 3,837 lbs)
7.1 lb/hp vs 7.6 lb/hp (ZL1 vs Z/28)

2017 ZL1 7:29:60
2018 ZL1-1LE 7:16:04
Time difference = 13.56 sec
Power difference = 0
Torque difference = 0
Weight difference = -60 lbs (3,926 vs 3,866 lbs)
6.0 lb/hp vs 5.9 lb/hp (ZL1 vs ZL1-1LE)

Not true, he is referring to the OEM dashboard gear indicator, if you're not watching on mobile and you're in full screen, you can see that the gear indicator is indeed white, all changes were heel/toe.

Now I'm curious how much time the ZL1 1LE will knock off from the lap time on Motor trend ,willow springs or laguna seca tracks compared to the ZL1? 2 or 3 seconds?

I still think 5th gen z/28 was low 30s on dry track.
