That race was to close to call and I was up front by a fender until we were halfway up the hill in the race and my car was pulling time. We took it to around 180mph and ran out of road due to traffic, but were side by side the whole time.

Here are the only two videos at the moment, shitty quality but you can see I CLEARLY didn't get "walked"

If someone can figure out how to get these onto youtube from FB that would be great. The two people that posted the vids didnt have accounts.
Moose it ain't a big deal though. Both you and Ian move out. Next time just get camera guys in the car and try to get some video of the Blue Viper vs the Supra lol.

I will never understand how the shitty drivers in car magazines can get an auto CTS-V sedan to 12.2@119 but then they struggle to get mid 12's@114-115 out of a car that is supposed to be lighter and of better technology

WTF mate?

CTS-V coupes =

I think almost anyone would mod up purposely for a race with one so they wouldn't lose and see that ugly *** rear end in front of them

Now that one coupe that i like!!

On the ZL0, biggest fail from GM in a very long time.

The issues are from the factory tune.

Ive seen the iat table for the zl1,ctsv,and zr1. While the zr1 and V were similiar the zl1's starting pulling a **** ton of timing at very low temps. 8-10* is probably 80hp or more. Being down that much hp explains those times/traps.

The question is WHY did GM do this. Something is fishy with that mysterious QC hold they had on the car.

A custom tune should have the car running the numbers it supposed to.

The yellow is a European thing and used on gt cars in the Alms.

So a road race car can only run decently (still a relative term) before it gets up to normal operating temps?

Lol
