Let's see what did the ZL1 weigh in at? What kind of tires were the runs done on? Remember these Lambos are running on 20" rims and don't have a basically automatic style transmission where you just pull the levers to shift.

If you want to get down to well it only takes half the HP to get something. Look at WRXs, etc.. Going insane times with half the HP of an F-Body or any car.

THAT WAS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE A STREET CAR! IT WAS NEVER PRODUCED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS A NON-VIN NUMBER CAR!

Regardless let us think about it. Balling out in the 770hp ZL1 or balling out in an almost 1800rwhp Lambo... I think I'll take the Lambo.

Why does everyone on this site think Naturally Aspirated motors are sooooooooo cool......

the ZL1 may not be the fastest but it can be duplicated and have twin snail added and...
well you know the rest.
expensive cars are not always the fastest.

As far as N/A with the Spray. I love the setup, but it does cost just as much money almost sometimes when done right. People tend to forget that I come from a big N2O background

I was kidding about my car, but that car in the vid does not constitute street car in my book.

Yes...there's nothing like driving around in the middle of the summer feeling like you're rolling in a four-wheeled furnace.

Street car definition is easy.
1.Pass inspection
2.Still have factory interior or close resemblance
3.Have a/c and radio-- thats one of my rules
4.Do it on DOT tires
