Sedan chassis CTS-V engine CTS-V/Corvette MRC/PTM An awesome collection of parts, to be sure, but not exactly one-off engineered. Quote:

Granted. But had I been shopping for a replacement for my BMW now rather than a year and a half ago, I'm not sure where I would have spent my money.

Obviously you have never picked up an issue of MM&FF. They actually have quite a reputation for testing cars to the best of their ability, regardless of make. You may want to look into their test of the ls1 camaro vs the new edge cobra where they ran one of the first 12s passes in a stock f-body and basically deemed it the king of pony cars.

I just want to say this again, I think Chevy made a mistake in naming this car, it should from it's road racing heritage have been called the Z28. The original ZL1 WAS built for drag racing, and that is where I feel they made the mistake. ZL1=DRAG CAR...Z28=ROAD & TRACK CAR. JMHO.

I enjoyed reading the article. I'm still a little confused why the GT500 didn't pull over 1G. My 2011 GT500 did so that's kind of weird. I'm looking forward to an actual review of them on a track with a pro driver before a clear winner is crowned. I've always figured the GT500 would be faster in the straight and the ZL1 the better handler.
With that said I'll be staying clear of a ZL1 in my Walmart parking lot.

Wow, that's quite a conclusion to draw from my post. I've never had so many words stuffed into my mouth at once.
