Yessir, a snappy, smooth revving quad cam V8 goes with the Corvette like peas and carrots. Can't wait. GM really needs to build a free revving 440-500 HP 5.0-5.5 liter 7500+ rpm 32-valve engine for the Corvette.

Yeah the ZL1 has better handling and brakes than the Boss, but yeah its suck fest.
It is. Slow as hell for the money/power, ugly, overweight, can't even outrun a Boss 302 tire for tire, just a general flop like the all 5th gens.

Considering his name is KingoftheMilkyWay I'm sure he drives a 5.0. We all know those cars are the only ones fast enough to make lift-off and go to the Moon.

You can have your 450hp DOHC peas and carrots.

The rest of us will take the 505hp pushrod steak and bacon.

Hmmm... When someone says something you don't like or agree with, they're a troll, right?

On another note: The Boss lost against the GT500 as well.

It did? I only saw 1 test, notably on "the fast track" at Inde Motorsports Park... The Camaro "won" in 1 section... and lost in 7. That's on the track, not a paper route. It's the same place(different track routing) as where the ZL1 beat the Boss 302 LS by 2.5 seconds. Also, the GT-R beat the ZL1 around the ring by some 17 SECONDS... That's not staying "with a GTR" at all. It's being humiliated. Not to say anything else is expected, because it isn't. The GT-R is a sophisticated car in ways GM doesn't even treat the ZR1 or the CTS-V, for that matter.

The ZL1 remains an unimpressive porker, like all 5th gens.

No amount of ZL1 apologists can change that simple fact. The cars are turds, can't outrun a N/A 302 cubic Boss 302 tire for tire in a straight line, can't hang with a GTR on a road course, and it's going to get reamed by Ford's far superior 2013 5.8 DOHC V8, which also happens to be the most powerful mass produced V8 in the world (suck it LS9).

Did I mention the ZL1 is a hideous as well.

Want a good performing Chevy? Get a Corvette like me.
