I wonder if the ZL1 owner is also waving goodbye to his money? That GTO does real good! I'd be a little upset if I was the ZL1 driver/owner, I would wanna put car lengths on a 6+ year old car.

Good runs.

IDK why people are so hung up on the gt500. Up until the 13 would get bitch slapped by a ZL and the only place a 13 gt500 outperforms the ZL is acceleration.

i expected more on the launch with a 4k stall from the gto. figured the Zl1 would take it up top but thought the gto would have had a car or so on the launch..

So the ZL1 owner should be embarrassed if he lost to a Ferrari F40? I mean it's a lot older than 6+ years so I guess he should be. Should he also be embarrassed if he lost to a whipple terminator? A 9+ year old mustang ought to be particularly embarrassing, right???

it would have been uglier if the Z was the same weight at the GTO

People are only hating because the ZL1 made it look effortless. If this was 2 cammed out GTO's with big stalls we would all be like daamn those are 2 fast cars. But the ZL1 did it with such ease it made it seem slower.

ZL1 = $58K + Pulley kit and Intake $1,000 = $59,000

MODDED GTO = 33K NEW + 4,500 for H/C/Stall INSTALLED ~$38K

ZL1's have to be the most worthless display of horsepower vs return around!!

How embarrassed would the ZL1 Owner be to get beat by a 03 Cobra with boltons!?!?

seems to me like it would take bolt-ons for a 03 cobra to run with a stock ZL.

Guy I know local has H/C/pullies/LTs/ NT05Rs/heat xchanger and pump went 12.20 @ 124mph with his 6spd 13 ZL1 with a 35mph tail wind

Buddies old 03 Cobra on 275/40/17 ET streets, JLT CAI, quadrant mod, 4lb Lower went 11.85 @ 117mph calm day

The 1987 Buick GN was a better bang for buck car over the present day ZL1, along with 98% of 4th Gen Fbodies on this site...

GM gave most of us what we wanted in the HSV 500 monaro in 2006, but the jerks wouldn't bring it over here! A supercharged Factory LS car for under 45K

When the ZL1 hit GM knew that most people would latch on to it for heritage and pay the pretty penny for one.. In a performance aspect $ vs $, Mod vs Mod, its a pathetic POS

Sounds like the guy with the ZL don't know wtf he's doin. ZL's have been 11's stock. 03/04 cobra's haven't. Not to mention everything else it does better than that car.

Someone buy me a ZL. I bet it can run 10's with bolt-ons.

Have seen quite a few go 11.30-40 completely stock. So definately no slouch. Seems to me the only people who hate are the broke dicks who have to prove something.

throw this on the GTO, throw that on the GTO. Regardless of what you guys wanna talk the ZL1 is a beast. It's a heavy bitch for sure but if the GTO had to hold to the crash standards of today it would be alot heavier as well. Also the GTO new wasn't really that cheap either and the ZL1 will be worth more much further down the road. I love GTO's too but you guys sound like a bunch of sandy *****

The ZL1 is no bargain, I'll give you that.

But with a 124mph trap, the ZL1's making enough power for mid-low 11's. I think even MotorTrend went 12.1 with a stock ZL1...

11.80's at 117mph for the cobra sounds right on to me.

Not sure what some of you guys are lookin at but the ZL1 pulled hard up top once it got that weight moving. The race was exactly what I would thought it would be... Also a 4k stall don't mean **** if you cant hook it.
