My buddy has one ordered. Gonna be pretty sick. He's sending it straight to the shop and it'll be making 900 or so coming out... Lol

what would he be doing to get that kind of power out of the LSA?

2013 GT500 is going to wipe the floor with the ZL1...

Zl1s from the few I have seen are incredibly dissapointing. Its taken Hennessy full bolt ons, race gas, and a pulley to go 11.0@130. They were goign mid 12s stock. Waste of 60k bucks if you ask me.

Mid 12s stock? I haven't heard that at all. How can they be slower than the V2 with a bit less weight and more power (including launch control)?

My point is... there is nothing you can do to it other than ripping that LSA that has the 1.9L blower on it out of the car, and doing something completely different. its a waste of $$..
Your 'buddy' will be busy all day spending $$ replacing JUNK parts of the car like the dual mass flywheel they are putting in the ZL1.

900 is not going to happen. I guarantee that.
would be lucky to hit 750 flywheel. after a larger blower, cam, high flow heads, exhaust, pullied down, tuned, etc.

"2012 ZL1 Camaro with automatic transmission, baseline 1/4 mile dragstrip testing:

Run #1: 12.52 @ 116.3 mph with a 2.0 60 ft."



"Nitto 20 inch drag radials: 12.11 @ 116.1 mph with a 1.81 60 ft. time.

This car made 467 rwhp thru the factory auto transmission on our Dynojet dyno a couple of days ago."

Nothing wrong with the 1900 blower, the fastest V2 is running a ported stock blower, with nitrous. Its the same motor, if the camaro is slower it must be due to suspension.

But for once, the Caddy has the stronger rear end... Camaro's are blowing their rears and the 9 second V2 above is on the stock rear (upgraded trans).

i think the point of this car is to build a fast road track car, not so much a drag car despite what the youtube video they put out saying.

The ford might be faster in a straight line but i dont see it winning once corners are being tossed at it.

Then why put launch control on the car if its not supposed to be drag oriented?

I can't wait for some stock ZL1 vs. stock CTS-V vids...

liqidvenom

Thats only one of its 5 traction settings. it has if i recall 3 other ones which are geared to help it get around corners, same as its shocks which would be a waste if being put on a drag oriented car.

I mean a 911tt has launch control, so does a corvette, and a cobalt ss tc. all of those excel at taking corners more so then they do leaving from a dig.



im just saying that this car nor the gt500 should not have its worth determined by its drag time. the 7:40 or what not on the ring shows that this is a serious performance car in a similar vein to a boss 302....just quicker.

My bet is gearing. That one reason the ss is slow compared to the V1. We have 3.73 they have 3.42 in the rear probably for gas milage. If they did the same thing to the new camaro I could see that being a factor.

Cluesless.. ah, ok.
900 is not happening, unless you change out everything.. stroke, forged, heads..etc. Turbo, Whipple.

All these people must be clueless too
