Yes a high 10sec 130+mph street car is badass but it kinda takes away from it when it "should" be a low 10sec 135-140mph street car...
I've been to the track 3-4 times. I think some seat time, slicks/ skinnies and some good DA ,that most of you take for granted, it should go a little quicker.
This is also a true daily driver. 9000 miles in 3-4 months of driveable weather. With its mild cam my wife grabs groceries with it and I get 22 mpg driving to the track or a road trip to Colorado.

When I get some more experience or if Islander033 starts kicking my *** I will throw my ADM race tune in it that I have sitting in my programmer.

Very valid points!! 22mpg is amazing in a car with that kinda power and weight!!

Look foward to seeing your et's drop.

I wonder how well a gt500 would run on 9lbs of boost. That would be equal to the ZL's.
Stock boost on pre 13's is 9lbs. Stock pre 12's have been mid-high 11's. Although because they are hard to launch, most drivers can't get good times out of them.. hence the "GT500's run high 12's" stereotype.

If only the ZL1 was a 3800lb car like the GT500. It would run better times close to the 2010-12 GT500

Your right that's why i wouldn't own one lol. Before i bought one i would go back to my GT500 or buy a ls3 Vette. But also remember i wasn't GMs fault when you guys were stuck with a pos 2v for so many years to

Hasn't a ZL been 11.7 bone stock? A mag got them to go 11.9-12.1's. Seems like that is quit a bit quicker than pre 13 gt500's.


Autostupid don't know wtf he's talking about. Every time he posts some dumb **** about how fast Mach's, 2v's and gt500's I always wonder why his is turdy......It's because he sucks and swings from others to do what he can't. He don't even know wtf they did to get there......but he thinks he does.

Why is your modded GT500 slower than a stock ZL1 then, derp?
