Why do they always give a new bad ass car in the hands of some dumb ass who's never drag raced before.... Its just sad! 13.5?!?!?!? :(

Thats the best view of the undercarriage pan I've seen. It's going to be even more fun than usual changing the oil.:(

dude needs to be kick in the nuts for running times like that. My 73 year old mother could run a better time than that

More like 160hp more. Vs dynoed around 440rwhp stock for an auto and this one had 600rwhp. But you are right in the notion that just a few thousand in mods will get you in the 10s

Awesome to see the car in action,but that dude was just terrible.

What happened to all the articles, I just read above that said. Anyone even a novice, can get a great time, in this car. All you do, is put it in drag mode, an drop the hammer. The car does everything else. I know thats what Chevy is saying. 13.5 or low 13's is just embarassing. Even with novice drivers. This car!!!! is the high $$$$$ teched out shit, Chevy keeps bragging about!!!!! That almost drives itself. I am very disappointed. Pull the vid. Before everyone starts cancelling their orders. This is a 60,000 dollar plus car. And runs 13,s. My 1994 LT1 camaro with minor bolt-ons, ran 13.21. And on the juice went 11.90s. FOR half the price of this pig. SORRY guys. I bleed CHEVY. I have owned probably 100, or more chevys thru the years. Am I am very let down by this car. Overpriced, over weight pig. And before you call me a ford guy. Let me tell you. I do own three fords. But my 1932 pro street ford truck has a CHEVY LS7 ZO6 motor in it. My daily driver is a F150. My Wife drives a 2002 ford T-BIRD. and my weekend car of choice is, my C6 loaded up vette.

I cant wait till i actually take delivery of the car to see how it does in the 1/4. i have a date with my bosses cts-v should be interesting.

Thanks for all the welcomes. I have been following the board since November when I ordered my ZL1, but finally joined. I also emailed the editor to see if they had any additional photos of the black zl1 that is on the lift. I will keep yall posted.

I think this video shows what the ZL1 6-speed will realistically run in the 1/4 mile in the hands of a novice. I am sure Chevy would rather have the ZL1 in production before this personal vid came out. For that reason alone, the vid should be pulled.

I am very interested to see what the auto runs in anybody's hands. My guess is high 11's on a decent track surface in good air.

Sure seemed like it. That would be dissapointing after all the improved suspension talk.
