ZL1 vs ZL1: stock with rotofab CAI
GTO: 402ci, 3600 stall, 3.70 gears
Got a engineer coworker who got tired of hearing everyone in his shop talking up my GTO after I gave some of them test rides so he traded his SS in on a new ZL1 last month and today called me out at work.
Feeling pity on him, I let him have the hit both times and we went from his best roll speed around 25mph where I just left mine in 2nd gear and made my stall converter get in some work -he refused to dig race btw.
I don't know if he was using the no lift shift feature or just WOT speed shifting but he had trouble on both runs getting into 3rd. Second race I let him have a bigger jump then I should have but his slow shift to 3rd made up for it.

So, you beat a poorly driven, 99% stock ZL1 by half a car. I thought that your goat would ''absolutely destroy'' a bolt-on C6?? 
I knew that you were up to your ears in dog ****. And that's pretty high if you're 6'6''.
Not sure how anyone can say that your car runs strong after watching that video either. That ZL1 probably runs 13's @ 110ish with that noob driving it.

There was no way a stock zl1 will beat me. period. I gave him the hit both times, second time I gave him extra time even. rolls from 20-25mph with me in SECOND GEAR. First gear would have yanked him. If his car was driven/shifted properly and we both launched same time I would still pull a couple cars on him no problem. Just not 4 cars like the first race.
