In cars that will be this close in power to weight it's a driver's race, especially in the M6 ZL1. Edge goes to the Auto, always, in a drag race.

...since the transmisson and rear axle share the same fluid and cooling system, there won't be an automatic tranny....

Saw this on GM Launch site today.
How fast will the Z/28 be in 0-60? In the quarter mile? The true performance of the Z/28 will be measured in lap times, not straight-line performance. To preserve the track-focused nature of the Z/28, it doesn’t have the strengthened differential and half shafts of the ZL1, and is not recommended for drag racing. The new Z/28 is designed to be the most track-capable Camaro ever produced by the factory. |

It will be fast for sure down the straight. Just not faster.

Z/28 with 7000rpm redline minus the same clutch packs and 19" wheels will walk the ZL1 with a driver. |

....I am sitting back, just enjoying the proliferation of technology and all that's good with Camaro right now. What a great time to be a Camaro enthusiast, and an old Camaro person from the dated past on top of it...like as in the difference from the horse and buggy to the space shuttle and having experienced the difference between them....<well, sort of speak>

...the car if one reads the specific design behind the engineering involved is soley set up for short to medium road course tracks. It will outturn and navigate it's way through corner's like there's no tomorrow. With a 7,100 RPM redline.

Even though the ZL1 has better power to weight....the Z28 has better tires in back, better gearing and 300lbs less to get moving....I think the Z28 will be just as fast (or faster) than the ZL1 in the 1/4.
....as long as they don't neuter it with excessive torque management (like they did to the ZL1)
