There are NONE!! Why?!! Cause in reality no one gives a crap about road course racing!!! Now go check the MULTIPLE 1/4 mile threads and see all the attention theyre getting!!

Geez just accept the fact that Ford has flat out hung a foot in Chevys azz with this one.

It can only be a good thing. Chevy cant match Fords hp in the ZL1 without first uppin the HP in the ZR1. So maybe just maybe we'll see a 750hp ZR1 and a 700hp ZL1.

Whats going on Mopar or NO Car, hows that line up (besides the Viper) doing? In reality I have to agree, I think (if they ever release numbers) the 2013 Shelby is going to walk the ZL1. I also agree this will force GM to bump HP numbers on the Vett and Camaro. I was thinking about a 2013 ZL1 Vert, but I know there is going to be a 5th gen ZL1 with a final crazy HP number I need to wait for.

Pointless for a while. The ZR1 won't be around much longer (in current form).
I think we will have to wait till the vette gets the next gen motors.

LOL... Im no mopar fan boy but since you asked theyre line up is doing great i must say. The 392's are running about the same times (some cases even quicker times) and just a mph or two slower than the ZL1's. With 110hp less and NA to boot. Id say thats pretty damn good. And u wouldnt wanna bring up the Viper. We all know that NA car is gonna crap all over Chevys flagship car.

Other than that. Thanx for agreeing with me.

Lol there's been like 3 ZL1's that have made the drag strip.

I'd wait and see what the C7 will turn out to be.

I thought it was more like 4-5, but youre right its not that many. But even the mags got pretty similiar times with the ZL1 and 392 minus that 12.2 or 12.0 on of em got. I cant remember which it was. I seen some 12.5's from the ZL1 and i wanna say some 12.5's or 6's from the 392's. Dont think for a second that im saying the 392 is the faster car cause it isnt. With everything being equal the ZL1 will pull a 392 every time. I was just pointing out for being a 110hp down and minus a supercharger that the 392's are doing pretty damn good compared to the ZL1's.

Well... That's one way to put it. Unfortunately, it's true...

I completely understand why we keep hearing about roadcourses... It's really sad actually, but it is what it is i guess.

To think for sooooo long everyone impatiently waited for the day of the GT500 fighter, and then this happens...:(

I think when Ford found out about the ZL1 coming out, and then all the trash talking from Chevy, they decided to make a statement... And boy did they!!!

The most powerful and fastest production muscle car ever built, MAYBE EVER!
