Good going gm! You finally show up late to the party, and disappoint!
Im sorry, but with those mods, those tiny *** tires and **** this car is a fat *** ******* pig. My ls6 transam was at 450hp and could get into the very high 11s with less displacememt, no forced induction, street tires etc etc

You don't know what that guy did to run that. I've seen 3 run this year, all with various mods and the fastest one went a 11.8@ 121. The other 2 were in the 12's at less than 120.
The race fuel thing sucks....but give them some time to mess with meth or e85. Either of which could possibly and potentially do better than the race fuel.

2) I thought E85 was "race fuel" in your eyes?

This is what you don't seem to understand...everything YOU say on here is "internet racing" for the other people. People share what they have seen in REAL LIFE, on the internet. You sticking your proverbial fingers in your ears and pretending that the tracks you go to are the only tracks in America is silly.

I have been drag racing since the early 80s and I still cant get over how many people are clueless to the basics of it. I remember in 85 when the Mustang GT was supposed to run low 14s and the first one we saw at the track ran mid 15s. Everybody right away said that they were slow and didn't live up to the hype. Not long after that we were all running low 14s just like they were supposed to. Same in 86 with the Grand Nationals,93 with the Cobras,98 with the ls1 cars, 03 Cobras ,ect. ect. ect.
Give it a little time and bolt on cars will be running mid 10s at well over 130 and stock cars will be well into the 11s @ over 120.
When the new Shelby comes out there will be some people running slow in them and that will give all the haters a good reason to talk **** and say how slow they are but it wont be long and they will be flying just like we all know they can because the 2013 Shelby is going to fly. How can it not be fast with 5.8L and 14 to 15 pounds of boost.

Yea.....I don't get it and you have yet to run a 13 must less a 11.
Yep, highly massaged/aftermarket boosted cars vs this very light bolt-on car. What is up with you guys always tryin to up the ante for comparisons? Give the car some time.
Btw..... What's yours run?

and hennesy isn't an aftermarket company? massaging this car? with new fuel injectors? and a new intake?
to be honest, i kind of expected to see these times out of the zl1 in stock trim. it's kind of disappointing that they had to do this work to it to make these times.
