the manual zl1's seem to be trapping almost 2 mph faster than the stock auto that was tested. according to your theory that MAY indicate more rwhp. but i dunno.
again, the MPH's being posted do NOT indicate what a 525rwhp car should be doing.

Not me for one if they were to put anything close to an auto in the GT500 it would have to be a Dual Clutch Automated Manual in, I don't mind the crappy slushbox in my SS but they had better put a DCT in the Shelby if they ever go that direction....

That thing is a monster. I never would have thought that Detroit would be putting out cars like the ZL1 and GT500 from the factory. Truly a great time to be an enthusiast!

We dont need gobs of HP to be quick. Look at what #1GMFAN did w/ the ZL1 completely STOCK in Florida: 12.02 @ 117.9MPH. STOCK to the tires. Even better than Redline's and Hnnesy's run of 12.02 @ 116MPH with DRs.
