Great video. Still not worth my Mylink radio or the snowball AC. I am really interested in seeing who will actually man up and give up their ZL1 for one. No radio is one thing, but no AC will make a thug cry. Great looking machine nonetheless.

Looks like he had to back off quite a bit even midway. Should be room to gain. That thing sounds good.

I definitely believe that. Hopefully they will go back one day.

Very impressive run considering the damp tarmac. I'm just hoping that the future owners of this car actually take it to the track and drive it as intended! Don't make it a garage queen to brag about. I am very happy with my ZL1 that is a daily driver.

It's posted in at least two threads in the Z/28 section here on Camaro5. There's the same Z/28 run video overlaid with video of the ZL1 run. While the Z/28 was only 3.8 seconds faster than the ZL1, they expect it to run another 6 seconds faster on a completely dry track. The overlaid videos prove that out, as the Z/28 builds up a lead of several seconds on the ZL1 in the first five minutes or so of the videos (judged by track position markers) but loses some of its time advantage to the ZL1 on the wet track after that point on the course. And they probably couldn't just stay over another day to get a full good run on a dry track because their time was up and another car company had already leased it.

Now the ZL1 makes up time at the end not because it is raining but because it is an uphill straight and the ZL1 has 80 more HP. It has an 11 mph advantage almost the entire straight and that is a long straight, about 1.3 miles. It does the same against the Z06 (which has the same engine and trans) if you watch it's video. ZL1 does not gain because of rain but because of horsepower down a straight. So I'm thinking the rain at the end is great for marketing, Z/28 does awesome time with rain on the track but in reality it didn't make much difference or they would have posted the faster dry lap. It's a great cornering car... no doubt. Horsepower always wins on the straights. I'm not totally on the Z28 bandwagon yet.

I would like to see the ZL1 do the Ring lapping with the same ceramic carbon brakes as the Z/28.

C'mon we've known from the initial release AC is available.
