Agreed, I don't think there are too many people running drag radials on 19"+ wheels that have the option of running smaller wheels.

Badass car! Something doesn't add up though. Another shop put 150 shot on theirs and ran 10.0 @ 139

Just because you increase hp, doesn't mean you decrease ET

I think there are some "overlooked" mods on this GT500. Kind of like the racing brakes for weight reduction and fitment for the wheels...all seats removed except for the drivers seat, suspension work, etc. What's next...a sneaky pete system? Something tells me that we're not hearing the whole story.

It does when both cars are properly setup and have a good driver behind the wheel.

So the camaro gets more power+slicks and goes 9's@full weight then could change tires and go run on any road course but the GT500 has to add power,brakes,suspension,weight reduction and slicks to hit the same number yet it couldn't run a road course with the same setup. Now I'm going to assume the zl1 took more money to get to said number(9's) but how much value would you place on the car still riding and handling the same without having to change shocks,brakes, and add the seats back. IMO both cars are badass but when you throw alot of power at them the zl1 keeps getting better yet the gt500 starts to turn into a "one trick pony".

WTF are you talking about. Go somewhere else.

So the dumbassery you displayed in the Automotive News, Media & Press section has poured over into this one. Awesome. I think a custom user title might be in order for you.

Don't understand why you guys are so upset all I pointed out is that in order to hit the 9's you just add some power and tires to the zl1 that's it. But with the gt500 you have to add that plus take away from the overall package of the car so please explain how that post was so bad.

Yeah and the car in the OP even traped 3mph more than this car. I would def buy one of these over the ZL1.

Guess you along with some others can't accept the facts so guess that would make you a ford huh?

i personally think the new camaro is to heavy for the hp the engine puts out.... put that b*$%^ on a diet and up the ponies a little bit.

^^^^yeah 3700ish with a 2.3 tvs on low boost not to step on the vettes toes would be nice. I just hope they get smart like ford and stretch out 5th and 6th gear to help avoid the gg tax next time around.

A lot more to each of these cars than is being released. The two examples given really tell the tale with inconsistency if you know what to look for. Watch the 60ft times along with trap speed, just doesn't add up. The new GT500 is a beast no doubt but these examples are not the best to base your opinion on.

You came into a thread about drag racing results and start talking about handling qualities, so you tell me. Good job bench/magazine racing though.

over on svtp it looks like evolutions gt500 has pulley,exhaust,tune,gears,smaller front rotors,mild weight reduction,slicks and drag wheels...definetly badass

they stated front brakes were only used because currently there are no drag rims available that will fit over the stock 2013gt500 brakes

No,my intention was not to focus on any one thing just to point out that in order for the gt500 to hit the 9's it has to be built to do only one thing as where the zl1 can still do everything. We all now the gt500 will hand the zl1 it's *** stock for stock but everyone said it would be even easier to make the gt500 faster (9's) and clearly it's a little cheaper but at what expense? The zl1 still retains all factory parts minus motor work and tires where the gt500 has to lose its ability to anything but go fast in a straight line wrong or right?

You keep going back to this bench/magazine racing comment like you have driven both cars on and off a track and you have the right to to express your opinion and it's ok yet I'm bench racing? Seems like a scape goat because you can't discuss the facts without wanting to insult someone to make yourself feel better.
