hey dark you gonna dump that shitty intake manifold and see what it runs. im really curious to see what they do with a decent intake and everything else being stock. i would guess it would be close to a LS3.

They didn't try their best. If they offered the LSA with a forged bottom end and a TVS 2300 and did more weight reduction on the car then they would have tried their best.

obviously that would be better, anyone can throw on parts and do more weight reduction but that costs money and i doubt they would be on target with the current budget.

When you start with a **** platform you can't expect much. The ZL1 is a joke when comparing other cars in the price range.

I'm not replacing the manifold yet and when I do it won't be as stock anymore. I have headers and a stall going in this week. Also when I replace the intake it will most likely be with an LS3 so heads will be going on too.

guys are running 12.50s-12.60s stock in a SS, and plenty in the 12.7-8's! So the best stang run is a hole .2 faster Thats a joke to think that is some big deal, the BEST stang is slightly faster in the 1/4... big deal, and a vette a will kill a stang all day long. Some one always is going to be a bit faster, drive what you like and modd the crap out if it! Thats the point of this hobby! I would never buy a stang, but you dont see me telling people what a turd they are![/QUOTE]

Two tenths faster doesn't seem like that big a deal until you factor in the fact that they're doing it with 80 less cubic inches of motor.....now it's a big deal.

Yes the 5.0 is faster than the camaro ss in stock form just face it. Thats why I bought a Z06, it is a fact that the coyote in stock form is faster than a stock ss auto or manual. Yes I am a gm guy (probably will be for life too) but the facts and numbers are there guys.
