A ZL1 will beat a 5.0 stock for stock, bolt-on for bolt-on. I have personally seen two stock to the tire ZL1 Camaro's go low 12's. I know for a fact a stock Coyote won't do that.

Now a '13 GT500 is a different story.

If a stock ZL1 doesn't beat a stock 5.0 then the driver sucks big time......

Nice! Drove the new setup for the first time. I have a TERRIBLE exhaust leak casuing some NASTY rasp. YUCK. The new coilovers/shocks sure helped traction!

Good except the coilover sprin rate is WAY to low. I have 150# and need like 225#

It pulls like a freight train!!

That's not nice.

It's just what I've personally seen, stock for stock a ZL1 and a 5.0 is close race.

I'm just saying stock for stock and equally modded the zl1 should win. It won't always turn out that way. I beat bolt-on 5.0's in my cam'd ls1...

So are you a 49'er fan or just on the ban wagon?

... With a competent driver, it should with no problems.

Agreed.

Agreed. The 2013 GT500 would beat a ZL1 in the straight. However, if the ZL1 is losing to a 5.0 stock for stock, its 100% the driver's fault.
