So I was envisioning that the M6 and A10 having a very little performance separation of no more than 3 Tenths in the 1/4 mile, with the 1LE being able to Challenge a Porsche GT Cup Car on the Road Track, (as I've seen a 2014 Z28 being a close second to the Porsche GT in SCCA and NASA TT's at less than 2/3's the cost). But now with the unresolved M6 BOG issue the performance is now lost.
I also was going to attempt to keep the 1LE factor and attempt a run in NHRA Stock Class.
But after seeing the vast diffreence in factory performance between the M6 and the A10 where the 1/4mi times are separated by almost 2 Seconds have me thinking twice, (as GM has now refused to correct the Bog issue and recent QC with aluminum corrosion is totally acceptable in a $70K+ Hi-Po Car.
So now my Dreams of having a TRUE Unrestricted GM Hi-PO ZL1 Manual is gone.

The ZL1 bogging isn’t cool but...
The 69 ZL1 was a drag car and the street versions of the Superbird and Daytona sucked at everything. ...and NHRA ZL1 1LE? That’s a misapplication of a precision instrument.
If you want to use the car for NHRA, could you tune out the torque management? Your warranty is gone anyway?
