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.
any video is better than no video. I don't want information censored because it isn't flattering.

It's still a stock car with stock suspension on stock tires. Not the launch control monster everyone is expecting.

I'm still waiting for these "mid to high 11s with the right driver" numerous people have now taken the ZL1 down the quarter and no one has even matched Chevy's times.

How long are we going to have to wait for the right driver to come along?
