Redline's 2018 1LE ZL1 ARRIVED.....

Well we got one of two cars we ordered in the shop. Serious car for sure and most impressed with the chassis. The engine we already know about. The black one is getting jacked for a 850 HP PHASE 4 package and the blue one.....well that will be interesting when its done..

Here is a link to the car on our FB site.

Need to get a few more miles on it before we get into it.

2018 cool.
Can you try launching the car a few times around 2k to see if they used the updated drivability fix?

Our 17's bog like crap at launch.

Maybe after we put some miles on it...besides if you can't launch it without electronics you need more practice!

All those torque management functions are all there to preserve the warranty....

I hate to be "that guy", but what's the point of taking the 1LE (which is already limited for production per year) and adding tons of power to it? You don't need ridiculous amounts of power for a road course and the 1LE isn't built for straight line work.

I keep wondering that myself watching other builds like vengeance , it's already perfect I bet the added power would prob not produce a faster ring time more likely for over and under steer

Well I mean I could see why someone would add more power to a regular ZL1, but it just doesn't make sense to give a car that's limited in production and built to go fast around a road course 900 horsepower.

The answer to that question is really simple. It's .."just because". Some mod for usable performance gains. Others mod because just so they can say they have it. Nothing wrong with either of those.
