Slow? I've owned a 700 horse supercharged C5, an 850 horse Z06, 850 horse GT500 and a 600 horse Viper, among many others, and by no means is this car slow. Anything that can run low 12's at 119 isn't slow. Sure, there are certainly faster cars made today, but slow. That's ridiculous.

+1... I haven't driven 700+ HP cars (w/ exception of short drive in a Hellcat Chally) so I can't compare, but the Z/28 isn't slow, IMO. I had a Zl1 and I'd be hard pressed to tell the diff. In fact, in 2nd gear at about 30 MPH if you floor the Z/28 it rockets forward.

The only car I've ever driven that 'felt' quicker and more powerful in its 100% stock form was the Gen IV Viper ('08) that I had a few years back. And it should have - it had 600 HP stock and weighed less.

But my '15 ZL1 felt very similar and the C7 Vettes I had felt a little milder just based on the seat of the pants dyno.

This LS7 in the lightweight Z/28 feels incredibly powerful so I would not call it 'slow' by any means.

Just remember, there are always faster/more powerful cars out there. But the 5th Gen Z/28 is not slow by any stretch of the imagination.
