ZL1 vs GT500 REAL Track Test

I am tired of reading magazine articles and I want to know how fast a ZL1 really is on track I want to know how fast a 2013 GT500 is on track. I'll have two very good and very fast driver's at Gingerman Race Track in South Haven Michigan on July 14th. I need a BONE stock ZL1. We'll wire her up and run two very short sessions.

Lap 1 Warm up
Lap 2 Hot
Lap 3 Hot
Lap 4 Cool down

The drivers are Danny Popp and TJ Bain. Just 4 hot laps with real drivers that know the track inside and out. LPE has two ZL1s but they are both modified. Actually I don't know anyone in the area with a ZL1 that we haven't modified



Let us run four laps with your Z and we'll send you out with Danny, TJ or both for some instruction. If we get the cars, we will have magazine coverage. I am sure we can arrange for your picture to be published along with the track results.

How about the Camaro TEAM. Care to bring out a ZL1?

Any takers?

I know of a guy with a GT that is willing to drive to Texas for you to Pedderise it and beat the crap out of it :-)

There was a drag race the other day between two. Debating if I should post the vid or not.

Obviously, in here, it depends on who won?

I say post away but it might get you in trouble.

If it was at the track then post it, if it was a street race that's a no no.

If I had a ZL1, you know I'd be handing ya the keys! Being part of the test, and free instruction from 2 experienced drivers is a pretty good deal IMO.

You are talking about a race in a town north of Miami right?

Ah fudge! I would have loved to have my ZL-1 take part of this. To bad you're not near Arizona anywhere. I would have gladly turned over the keys for a few laps.
