First Independent 1/4 mile runs for the ZL1..... Seems like the ZL1 will suffer from the same plague the gt5000 does...
not talking **** here, all I want to do is prove that the gt500 and the ZL1 will be a handful down the quarter mile, neat suspension or not

my god look at the wheel hop for such a "refined" suspension

Theres nothing here that should be news... too much power for regular driver to handle...
like I said, plagued by the same problems as the gt500
no suspension or launch control can perfect lack of racing skills

Well then the writing is on the wall, 1 guy had a bad run with a ZL1, Chevy should just cancel the whole project. That way the hundreds or maybe thousands of non driving GT 500 owners can feel better about their over priced, overhyped, overpowered, under performing pieces of crap. Grab your popcorn boys this is gonna get good, the trolls are on the attack. I seem to recall GT 500 sucking so much and all the FIRD girls would come here tell us oh you just need this or that and tires "and then watch, it's a 9 or 10 sec car". The ZL1 needs 1 mod, DRIVER mod FTW! So take your 650hp, turn it sideways, and shove it straight up your candy A$$.... Just some opinions and facts

I think a lot of you are missing the point of this, GM over hyped this car just like you guys say the gt500 was, GM stated how amazing their launch control was and it was designed to make the worst drivers as good as the good drivers, well that's just not the case and it is proven here. Obviously based on the numbers the ZL1 should be a lot faster and it will be with a great driver and sticky tires just like the GT500 is.
Stop the **** talking on both cars/brands, just be happy we are living another horsepower war between American cars!

both of these cars are over hyped. BOTH.
they'll both run great numbers. with someone that has a clue. the unfortunate fact is that 90% of the people that buy either of these cars will be just like the schmuck in the op video. they'll wonder why they can't turn the times that were advertised.
