Oh yeah, well the ZL1 has run upper 9's with just the following:
CAI,
full exhaust
pullies
heat exchanger
cam
heads
full drag suspension
tires
tuning
...oh wait. Nevermind.
Don't be sad. The ZL1 is only about 8mph behind the GT500. With the addition of a V-Tak sticker and a Tornado, it's a driver's race.

Better fuel economy? I just looked and they get about the same. Too close to declare a winner on that front. Both get teens in the city and low 20s on the highway. I did noticed Chevy claims lower. No body buys these cars for that though.
The ZL1 would have more power but it has the ZR1 in its way.
So the GT500 beats it in power and straight line performance. The only thing you fans boys have is that the car makes 662 and is fast in a straight line.
And no Im not a ZL1 nuthugger. In fact, I dont like the 5th gens at all. I would rather have the Mustang but you some of you guys make it sound like the ZL! is a huge piece of ****

Ok this will be the second time I'm going to ask your reason for saying thàt maybe this time you will answer? Why would they take a car that has been their alpha car for all these years and just kick it to the side for a pony car?

Yeah but theirs also alot of ford nutswingers that feel the ZL1 is garbage because it isn't as fast as a GT500 so it rolls or should I say trolls both ways.
Guess we need to do some test drives or we can't talk about all the new cars that come out huh?

possibly i missed tghe first time you asked me.........but they do not have the vette as a limiting factor, because they are two different cars, aimed at two demographics.
those of you that think the vette limits what gm can do with the camaro are over thinking things.

Talk about, ya, people can and do that all the time. These people in here though making up excuses left and right for either car as though they designed the damn thing.....that's what's funny. The ZL1 is clearly outmatched. The people claiming otherwise just because they have some misguided brand loyalty to GM is ridiculous. GM doesn't care about you at a personal level. They care about selling cars, and having cars with the least amount of liability as possible. But yet, there are people out there that get brainwashed into buying only GM or buying only Ford. Man, if I could only make a product that developed a brainwashed following where I don't actually have to provide the best product because people believe it's the best no matter what. I guess GM is doing something right....and it's not the ZL1.

Seems like the GM faithful just can't stand to be "one upped".
I don't think the ZL1 is garbage, I just think that GM thought all they had to do was better than the 2011 GT500.

Funny this is, the ZL1 is no faster than the 12 Shelby. So it failed at that also.

Lol not one person called the ZL1 garbage, even if they have, do you own one? Who cares? it just failed to perform anywhere near the gt500. That's all. Im not a brand monger so i can say ford made an awesome car, who ever thinks otherwise is in denial, who wouldn't want a car that is capable of those trap speeds stock? and even if you don't like it for w.e reason, it still a awesome car.
