I'm thinking it might be you who haven't been on a road course. I beat a C63 black AMG on a road course because the driver could only go fast in a straight line. I ate him alive in the corners.

Nobody said it's not important, It's just not as important in road racing as it is in drag racing. This is a extreme example but I'm trying to get you to see what we are saying. This car has more power.... than this car..... But it would get killed by it at the track. Last edited by ShnOmac; 04-15-2013 at 07:02 PM. |

ya autocross. is not a full stage coarse. i dont think the z/28 will get to show its true blood on a autocross track. i guess u missed where i said in autocross power really dont matter . this is why this forum is the way it is. u cant get ppl to answer a simple ? if u dont like the topic dont click. u may have busted a c63 black amg but im sure the driver had alot to do with that.

im not sayin anything i just askin what do u think i will run. u guys get all crazy over a simple ? so i guess the zl1 is not a road car . its made for the 1/4 mile only. dont need no test then. the 1le dont need to be advertised with the 12.7 time since its a road track pack. i mean really.

Also an LS7 and an LS3 are both GM SB's therefore the same weight.

Mr irrelevant 3:91 ratio
Wow , I'm glad you added that 3:91 gear ratio. Which is being replaced with the 9 bolt moser rear

If you can't understand why, then you don't get it. It's that simple. A few tenths of a second difference down the quarter mile (which is what we would be talking about between a ZL1 and Z/28) is not going to be a deciding factor in which car is faster around a road course. Of course if you're comparing to something like a miata it makes an enormous diffence, but we're not. We're talking about 500hp vs 580hp. The tenths of a second that the Z/28 loses to the ZL1 in a quarter mile has no bearing on what kind of speeds the car will hit on the the straightaways on a track. I'll bet that while the Z/28 will have a slower ET and lower trap speed at a drag strip than a ZL1, the peak speeds down the straightaway for a Z/28 will be faster than a ZL1. If you can't understand reasons why that would be.... you don't get it (one hint: corner exit speed). Let me use the 911 turbo and the 911 GT3 as a good example of the differences between a ZL1 and Z/28. While some of you have no interest in Porsche because their owners are pretentious assholes (by in large, you'd be right, but that's beside the point), the comparison here is valid. The 911 Turbo makes more power, more torque, weighs more, has more amenities, and goes 0-60 and does 1/4 milefaster than a GT3 The 911 GT3 makes less power, less torque, weighs less, has less amenities, goes 0-60 and does the 1/4 mile slower than a 911 Turbo, but laps a circuit faster. It's also more engaging and fun to drive. |

While I agree with everyone stating this car is not built for the 1/4, you know it will be tested there by magazines. You have to know that someone that buys one will shop up to the drag strip with it. Now you can say either that person doesnt get or whatever but I can almost guarantee somebody will take it to the 1/4 just to see what it does. I have seen quite a few cars that have no business being on drag strip go down the 1/4 mile. Ive seen Lamborghini's at the drag strip, you cant tell me those cars are built for the 1/4 mile, but sometimes people just want to blast down the strip.
With that being said, I did agree that the car is not built for the 1/4, and lap times will be more interesting/valid to discuss. But to answer the O.P.'s question, im going to guess somewhere in the low mid 12s @ around 115 |
