Anyone not happy with their ZL1's performance can give it to me. I promise I will not complain one bit.

MAJOR MAJOR FAUX PAS!


Never pair up Pink shoes against a Red car.

Other than that, you have one sharp looking Camaro. Enjoy it, and stay safe.

RE: People Being Upset With The ZL1's Performance Numbers

Thoughts From A Mustang Guy ...

To those already complaining about the car's performance numbers. SHAME! The vehicle just came out, so the cars being tested have what ... a few hundred miles on them? Let the freakin cars get broken in already!

MT ran 12.1@117.4 with one, and C&D turned a 12.3@119 mph. People, that's only a few tenths from being in the 11's ... bone freakin stock ... for around 55k ... WITH A FACTORY WARRANTY.

So Congratulations and Good Luck to all the new ZL1 owners.

I know it's happend before, that a new car comes out and not performed as advertised. Ford had this issue in 1999 with the Cobra. After a multitude of owners presented low dyno numbers and poor track results it became an issue. Ford never offically "recalled" the car, but if you were an individual who felt your car didn't have the advertised 320 hp, you could call svt and get with "program".

Ford did the honorable thing, which gave owners a new intake manifold, computer, and exhaust sytem to bring the cars to the originally claimed hp numbers.

Not saying this is the case, just saying that is has happend before.

Correct-a-mundo!

That's why they're good to use and are consistent indicators of what a car can actually do.

Takes out all the variables.

Yup. That's why there were no 2000 SVT Cobras ...

Exactly, I believe GM advertised it as a 12.1 second car and I can guarantee you that it will hit that mark. So I don't know why people keep acting like they are that shocked at the first few 1/4 mile runs with this car. The numbers will improve as guys get more seat time just as they do with most all of the cars Chevy or Ford. GM also advertised it primarily as a track car so don't be upset if it doesn't run consistant 11's. JMO

The major faux pas is seeing a pic of a hot girl next to a hot car and complaining about the color of her shoes. I am sorry, but that is just wrong.
