ZL1 vs Challenger



With launch control, what's the excuse?

Troll number one reporting for duty sir!

Remember when the ZL1 wasn't going to have the heat soak and traction issues that plagued the GT500?

And the "well it least it looks better" excuse used with Camaro vs Mustang discussions won't cut it here. Challengers are far and away the best looking of the three.

That is all.

This was a drivers issue plain and simple. They had no clue on how to keep the traction to the pavement. Launch control is not the cure all for lack of experience.
All i can say is that it is not the car on this one. Its the driver.

I completely agree. The ZL1 can run much faster than a 13.3 @109MPH. This seems to be a driver problem than a ZL1 problem.

His reaction is faster then the Chally just drives past him at the start...

Really? Challengers are the ugliest turds on the road. I'd drive a Nissan Leaf before I'd drive a Challenger.

Seriously? You would take THIS:

Your man card has just been revoked. Turn your testes in on your way to the sewing circle.

Put some 22" on that Nissan Leaf and it would be da bomb.

Are you sure that wasn't an SS or LT that had the ZL1 conversion with badges? You know some will do it.

Launch control in ptm5 creates a different result than ptm3. My guess is this is ptm5 with a driver who hasn't done a lot of racing before. If this is an auto zl1... Shame on the driver.

Ptm3 hard launches can create better 60' times than ptm5 hard launches if you have no idea what you're doing.

Key part of the video is the announcer "lets see if that Camaro can hook up this time."

That ZL1 needs a driver mod.........STAT

PS. If the Challenger could easily be tuned AND was about 700lbs lighter. I might MIGHT consider owning one but what do I know I drive an 8yr old bloated Cavalier
