When a car has big hp, street tires really become a limiting factor, especially on a manual car. My Cobra's best on regular street tires is almost 2 seconds slower than it's best on ET Streets.

Now that's funny. Evan Smith is driving a new GT500 and nobody thought to bring a real camera?

This man speaks the truth MPH = HP, 117 and 123 are a BIg difference at the recetrack. I'm a LS guy but you can argue with the numbers,

Well from a roll it's very clear the gt500 will walk the zl1 but from stop light to stop light the auto zl1 should get the manual gt500 with your average drivers and street tires. Now before you guys start saying how "hard you launch your manual car" just remember most drivers can't and a auto car is king when it comes to easy consistent launches.

Now for you guys that say most of us judge cars by a drag race and not the road course I mostly agree but I believe most "drag races" are on the street so the gt500 my be the strip king but the zl1 will be the street king so...........

Sub 11.8s vs 12.0-12.5 (ok and ONE hero run of sub 12s)??? Where is your logic here? Last I checked, the car that runs the lower et is quickest.

^hes talking about on the street. Big difference between the street and the track.


Just because the zl1 has less horsepower and isn't a drag king doesn't mean its a piece of ****. Some of you guys are so ******* stupid it's unreal.

I believe most of the the mid 12 second runs we're done by shops trying to promote their upgrades and the vast improvement over stock which we all know is bs on their part. Also I was in no way saying that it's faster then a gt500 because even though I'm a GM guy im smart enough to see the truth but like I said a fast auto most of the time is faster then a quicker stick car from a dig on the street which is why I worded it the way I did since I would rather have ten street kills over one track lose.

Also on a side note there has been more then "ONE" hero run of 11's in a "STOCK" zl1 so do some more searching my friend.

129mph, really?
Sounds like it would give a C6Z a run for its money.

It was on svtp, a guy on there was one of the people who got to drive one. He ran it twice, one was a 11.7@129 and the other was a 11.5 @ 127. He is a really good driver not the average editor like on car and driver who was driving them
