Default Zl1 1le vs 10r80 5.0


Found it on youtube , was quite disappointed that the ZL1 could barely keep up with a basic bolt on 5.0 .

Not sure what is surprising. Both low 120 trap cars with the ZL1 on 20’s and the 5.0 on a drag pack. Put the 5.0 back on stock wheels or the ZL1 on a drag pack and there will be steady pull every run despite the 5.0’s mods.

The 1LE only came in manual 6 speed

The 6th gen M6's biggest enemy is the atrocious gearing

Just like Camonly said put a 17" drag pack and it's a different beast

Giving a sc car excuses when it still makes more power vs the 10 speed bro. Saying give it a drag pack blah blah, is like saying give the bro a blower. Zl1 should have still walked it pretty hard as it has a huge tq advantage and still easily 70whp over the bro.

Stock tune ZL1's often close throttle and reduce torque through the curve. Soon as you put a Toon on them they wake up quite a bit. Toon and Flex sensor ( E70) they make 630's and trap 130+.

Personally I respect the 18+ 5.0s I don't hate on them. You guys have to realize the 10 speed cars can go 11.80s bone stock on a stock tire. That's nothing to **** around with I've had them keep up with me on the street.

ZL1 1LE is a street legal race car
They are stunning on a road course

You guys think we have yet to see the best ET and Trap speed from a FBO 18-20 10 Speed Mustang GT ?

Defintitely not the same as a roll race. Any dip **** can take a fast car and make it slow at the drag strip. I see it all the time. A roll race is a better showing of the cars power capability.

So accelerating over a lesser spread is a better indicator of a cars performance??? Ok....

All rolls do is exploit what gearing speed is best for. I mean **** it...you want to roll race then run till the car is at absolute top speeds.

Thats “how not”. Hahaha

PS. I’m sure that’s also true on a dig....
