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.
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.
It just came out...with the CTS-V's LSA, hence there's already an aftermarket for the car.

On another note: The Boss lost against the GT500 as well.
new magazines have seen the ZL1 run a best of 12.1-12.2 @ 118-119 mph...and that is with them driving ...i'm sure someone here can do a much better job...as far as handling, well it stayed with a GTR on a track.... i don't think you could go wrong with owning either a new 2013 gt500 or ZL1...both bad *** cars, but the boss 302 is downright ugly compared to the shelby and the camaro...

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.
No amount of ZL1 apologists
