My preliminary judgements may have been premature We'll learn soon enough

With the new power should come with a new car option.
Tire options. Drag radials if you want. like NT05Rs or Eagle SS if they have to stay with goodyear. option for stickier racing tires for road course people. like PZero Corsa system (dont think that make PZero Corsa anymore)

I hope that they do not put the Eagle F1 that are on the gt500 because those are pieces of crap, and they look different than the gt500 f1. So that is a very, very good thing.

Yea those r crap but I read couple of articles saying F2 specially deigned for ZL1.. being PZero good & they not using that I'd imagine they be good.

So I have to ask, why would you trade your 625HP car for a 550-560HP car?

Trade 625hp for 550hp ZL1?
Yep!!! That's a no brainer.
I got my 2010 2SS/RS loaded with all the options, sans the 21" wheels, and found that my 426hp was slower than my 588lb lighter 375hp 2001 Vette. So I fixed that with installing the TVS2300 maggie, Hurst shifter, American Racing Headers, Noweeds exhaust cutouts to stock muffler, Cold Air Inductions CAI, and fine tuned it all with Jannetty Racing's tuning. I call it a sleeper because it looks and sounds completely stock if I want it to. The 2010 SS is a great platform to modify and enjoy the hidden potential that is waiting to be freed. The 2012 ZL1 has so many improvements to the "Bones" of the car that the bang for the buck$ can't be added to an "older" 2010 or 2011 model in add ons to merrit not buying one. In other words, You can't build one and get the same performance or options that Chevy has included into the base guts of this magnificant machine. This is a much better platform to modify than the 2010, 2011. It already has twin disc clutch, heavier duty drivetrain all the way to the variable magnetic shocks and lighter wheels, a factory 1900 supercharger, dual power seats, etc.. the list goes on and on and includes a warranty. I may not modify it right away as Chevy has done their homework and I think they have it tuned to put the power the pavement better than mine. Yes I have more power but I am still running the stock suspension and hooking up is not as effective as their ZL1 is,I am sure. I was going to add either Pedders or Pfadts best suspension system but I decided not to now because of the ZL1. I do want to try and find the ZL1 rims and tires and replace mine with those if possible. The ZL1 changes everything. And that is good. It just keeps getting better and we get the chance to own one. We get a chance to own one of the best made and best bang for the buck hotrods ever, and if not satisfied, we can swap a pulley and increase its hidden potential anytime we feel like it. God I Love this country.:flag2: Thanks, The Naz Last edited by thenaz; 02-19-2011 at 11:34 AM. |

The 2011 GT500's with the SVT-PP have the much better F1 G2 tires. But they are still pretty hard and weak for straight line traction. |

I hear Michelin PS2's and Pirelli P Zero's are the best non-comp performance tire right now but cost a good bit... |

GoodYear Eagle F1 Supercar G:2 ROF IN 20inch
So when will the GoodYear Eagle F1 Supercar G:2 ROF tires on the 2012 ZL1 Camaro be available to purchase?
The ZL1 list the sizes as 285/35-20 and 305/35-20. I have about 20,000 miles on my original tires and would like new CCW16a rims with these tires, but searchs come back empty. I know they won't be cheap as my 2001 Vette has the F1 GS EMTs but they are 275/40 ZR 18s and 245/45 ZR 17s and total about $1500 for the set. |
