GM is goona have to put the car on a serious diet for one,and it is so much to ask for forged internals.I hate to admit it but this is the 4th camaro I've owned and loved them all.But I will be in the market for a 13' GT 500 soon.

Race duration or end speed?
Totally possible, just strange since most mags tested both around 12.5@116
Mph tells you the most about roll racing outcomes, but if it was a raping, so be it. Tell them to take it to the strip and have some more fun next time.

We already have verified, professional video and articles showing the ZL1 has outrun the GT500 at the course (VIR) for one as well as the Boss LS with Randy Pobst on both the ZL1 and the Boss LS. Pro drivers. I guarantee you GM engineered to ZL1 to be faster then the current GT500 and Boss LS which has been proven. Some kids who don't know what their doing with a car that they have very little seat time in is no way a reliable source for performance and one on one events. As for the 2013 GT500, well the ZL1 has no chance on the strip but will be tight on the track

I highly doubt a stock Zl1 is going to be faster than a stock '13 GT500 in the 1/4. I'm not knocking the ZL1, but it seems very obvious that the new GT500 was built for the 1/4 mile:

650HP
live axle
3850lbs

races were close at the onset, the Shelby pulled 1 car length in every scenerio and the gap increased as the speed increased

Just cause the live axle? the COPO Camaro uses a live axle too...

I had been thinking the same thing about Ford not getting the power to the ground, but we aren't going to know for sure til it's actually out, but on paper, it's looking good for them.

Im confident that when Al O. said the ZL1 is still going to be faster I have faith... plus Ford has already backed out of a challenge by Chevy so

I believe the OP. I don't believe he is a troll, he's been a member for 3 years, not just a recent member. It's sad the ZL1 didn't woop ass, but to be honest, all cars are different and maybe it needs more break in time, or who knows. Could've been the drivers experience as well. Chevy should've seen it coming and lightened up the ZL1 a bit, I know I love the ZL1, but I am somewhat disappointed IMHO. It's the modern HP wars so let's see what Chevy has under their belts to counter the 2013 GT500...

That was for the 'ring. I'm confident that the ZL1 can handle the GT500 at that, but I'm talking about the 1/4 mile.
