The ZL1 has some catching up to do! I wouldn't expect GM to rest on their asses though, bet you there is an update for the next model year.

Forget the ZL1....the new GT500 is a drivers race with a C6 Z06! They will be laying 700 to the wheels with bolt ons

I don't think That's to impressive. I think 650 hp should put up a time a little faster js Although I do like both, but if I had to choose I would go with zl1.


The GT500 starts at $54,995 and will run 11.6 at that price....you get ALOT more car with the GT500, for starters fully forged motor With the GT500, ZL1 only has forged crank....2.3l TVS for the GT500 vs 1.9l TVS for the ZL1....GT500 top speed is 202 mph, ZL1 top Speed 184 mph. AND the GT500 is lighter....the GT500 makes the ZL1 worthless basically....stock for stock and mod for mod the GT500 spanks the ZL1

three words: "Independent Rear Suspension".

If the GT500 gets it, awesome. But paying 55k for a car that has the same basic suspension design as an F-150?

I think they have to be a certain weight because of safety laws or something like that.
