Here is a ZL1 at my local track running in October air. Time slip is shown at 2:59 in the vid (left lane). It ran a 12.98 @ 114 with a 2.3 60ft. The mph is just low from what I have seen. The guy racing it in the Civic has a M90 poking through the hood.

cool vids. i'm not a fan of the coupe V cars, but they do roll out, in style, with some mods.

regarding the zl1: one locally went 12.8 @ 112 at the same time a buddy went 12.6 @ 113 in his bone stock 05 c6 (m6) car. he was next to my buddy and i saw the entire timeslip. nothing about it was impressive. my bolt-on fbody went almsot a second quicker and trapped with 1 mph of it. gm obviuosly was trying to sell a car with the specs, not build one that actually runs.

Here is a link to the Civic build. It was a low budget home made build that I thought it was cool as hell.

The car was built to road race, and TVS blowers are awesome.

I call bullshit on heat soak for the ZL1...not that it matters in a thread about CTS-Vs doing work.

ZL1s were the biggest let down in the last four years.



























Second only to Obama.

Word on the street is the Grey GT-R in the second vid I posted walked away from the CTS-V. There should be videos of that soon.

I realize that....but it may be suffering from the same issue those cars had.

The hardware is there. My guess is the guys that can afford them can't figure them out.

Not at all......V coupes are sexy bitches!

While I was at the track Saturday I got to talkin to a guy about his 11.3 sec Duramax....well he also has a ZL1. His is a stick and his buddy has one that is a auto. He said his buddy's has been a 10.8 with just bolt-ons.

I don't call that slow.

That civic is about 4mph slower than my friends bolt on k24, would be door to door with a couple bolt on k20 swaps. That thing is a big fail.

fact is the zl1 mostly runs like a POS due to shitty tuning and heat. kept very cool and some have run very well--- like they should. is it shitty that gm would make the car this way? absolutely. but i'll tell you what, it's a lot easier problem to fix than the irrepairable trans problems that the boss has.
How am i upset that the ZL1 is slow? It sounds like you are. Im telling you what i have seen. My buddy ran his in 50 degrees...as in... IT WAS COLD!! The car went 12.4 at 114. I dont know what else you want me to tell you. If you honestly think the car is heat soaking...ehh nvm.

My buddy is the owner of the car. Same guy who has ran his gt500 to 11.6 at 121 with nothing but an air intake and tires. He has had a lot of fast cars. Hes gone faster in a bolt on auto 4th gen. Its not the driver. He himself says the car is just a roach. He bought it simply because he could.
