I would actually like to see a ZL1 with just a tune, to see how much it responds to that.. The car is a pig and it is tuned to road race more than drag race. Sucks, GM went with that decision but oh well, mod and tune that thing and then see how it wakes up, if any. It should make a big difference, IMO.

Sad part for the ZL1 is that even my bolt-on MACH would have slapped around that ZL1 with those times...So I would kill the MACH comments.

I've seen some 530+ rwhp CTS-V's running high 12's/low 13's with terrible trap speeds. I'm not saying that the V's aren't impressive or that the ZL1's aren't unimpressive in stock form, but people seem to look for the good running V's and the poorly running ZL1's.

Unlike you, I do realize that this is just a bad run for the ZL1 though and man enough to admit that a properly driven ZL1 would probably be a full second faster and trap about 5mph higher. I can give respect to other cars reagrdless of make...could you?

Pretty soon, these cars will be low 13 second cars and mid 12 second cars with a pro driver in negative DA.
I friend of mine got the first (and only) ZL1 in our area a few weeks ago. A trip to the track in what will more than likely be well over 3000 DA is coming up in the next week or two. I will let you know how it runs. It's an Auto BTW.

BTW, I agree, I was expecting the ZL1 to be significantly faster than the CTSV's

Well the ZL1 is alot faster then the cts-v due to the third gen mag shocks on it, to the tune of 20 sec at the ring or something.
in a straight line no it isnt much quicker.
