The SLP ZL585 has less power and weighs more than the Shelby, but its just as fast (straight line) don't need physics to understand that

I don't know why the ZL585 is faster than the ZL1 The CTS-V wagon weights a ton and has less HP than the ZL1, but its been running about the same as the ZL1 I think the ZL1 is leaving something on the table, but I don't know what?

so what mods do you have on your 2010 SS.. have you had it on the track... need any suggestions that might help...

enjoy your trolling again tonight... I"m out of here
Why must everyone you disagree with be a troll? You are so horribly dismissive and unwelcoming to people.

Can you accept the fact that the ZL1 is BOTH a pig AND gorgeous/awesome in it's own right?

It says NOTHING about a ZL1 in the thread title so if anyone is trolling its you. Why are you in here trying to defend the ZL1 every time some speaks the TRUTH???

No way will i post any pics or info on my car as long as your slandering me as a TROLL!! Why would i give you the pleasure?



Maybe it's because we own them, and it pisses us off when fanboi's come to our site to put down what we believe in. Go back to your Ford site and have your own little circle jerk with the rest of your little fanboi's.

I honestly doubt it traped more than 122mph. I bet it just made really good use of its tires and traction. I think that car gets PS2 305's. I remember being at the track once and a guy was cutting 1.7 60ft's with a LS2 Vette who was running PS2 tires. 1.7 60ft in a 12 second car on street tires is REALLY good at that track.

Disagree... I'm not fooling myself into believing my ZL1 can beat a 2013 GT500 at anything. If I ever did I'd have you guys to correct me... frankly I'm pretty happy with what I have at the price I got it.

It's all about the motives some have when they come here and post "in your face" comments with fake info in their Avitars. Sorry I'm not stupid enough to buy into it. (and it's only in this thread) Guarantee you when the ZL1 was beating the crap out of the Boss I wasn't over in the Ford Forums posting smak. I really didn't give a crap...

Guess you didn't see his 1st post last night that got deleted so you may not know everything..

^^ Fair enough, I can totally believe I missed something. However, why feed them if they really are trolls? There have been a good assortment of honest car enthusiasts come here to debate/learn/share info. Talk to them, ignore the rest. It'll be better for your blood pressure.

Yeah... and I know you're one of them, that's why I'll give you my honest point of view. Sorry for the disruption...

One of them?! I am torturing myself with a freakin leased fusion to save for a ZL1! I'd give my right arm for one now, but they tell me I'd need it to row the gears.
