Default who out there has hit 11's with their showroom stock ZL1?

As the title states, who has hit 11s with their showroom stock ZL1?

How about stock on DR's too? Did you do that with an automatic or manual?

I havent really been paying much attention lately. However, im tired of hearing my ford fanboy friends talk about how much quicker the 2013 GT500 is than the ZL1 at the strip. I'd like to be able to defend the ZL1 with factual info, preferbly something i can link them to lol. Thanks!

So far I found a video on youtube where both manual and auto ZL1's went 11.9's on a nitto drag radial.

Edit: I didn't see he had pulley swap, headers, custom tune and other things - so not stock.

Someone posted on Camaro5 about hitting 11.8 with DR's

Ron, that's because the guy in the ZL1 at atco was a shitty driver and probably had all the traction nannies on...

i feel it'll be really easy for a ZL1 to hit 11's at atco in the later part of the year with a good DA and some nice, sticky tires. But man, those GT500s are pretty damn quick.

I have videos on youtube under my name here. I was 11.9x with factory tires and a cooldown and 11.8x with DRs hot lapping with shitty mph. I stopped posting about it because all the Ford dicks were giving me crap so I just keep it off the forums. If I tried hard this winter Im sure it will run mid 11s on DRs.

The ZL-1 is really detuned, it won't take much to make it a 10.90 car. The most impressive thing is how it is SO different from an SS model. Just an amazing car in every way.

I noticed the thing with the ford dicks, especially this one guy. I swear he trolls all the GM videos and talks ****. Guess he has nothing better to do with his life lol. keep up the good work with your driving. let us know how you do once its 40 degrees out
