All I'm saying is that the ZL1 is still a better achievement for GM in my opinion because that car has all the bells and whistles and STILL turns in a 7.41 time.... in fact put the ZL1 on the Z28 wheel/tire combo and it would probably be quicker... |
You are Spot On! Bullseye! In fact, it appears the Ceramic Rotors wouldn't even be needed on the ZL1 to run a 7:37. Just the Fatter Front Tires! And, no need to remove any creature comforts!
What this says to me is 1) GM has gotten the Camaro dialed in on the Ring and 2) Supercharged or N/A, take your pick! It's about peaked out in any variation. Tweaks are only thing left to do. Tweaks resulting in Tweaks of time. No heat soak on the Z/28 didn't seem to give it a significant advantage.
Bottom line, street results will be the same. ZL1 is truly the PINNACLE of achievement for an all around factory production car. Just like GM marketed the ZL1, it remains King of the Hill of Camaro's! Z/28 great track car.... but maybe not better than ZL1 if you tweak the ZL1 just a pinch.
Glad to see all that weight reduction and reduced comfort truly did not make a remarkable difference in the big picture. Sure, great track car - no doubt. Same as the ZL1 but just cost more per MPH. And MPH and Times are so close as to be irrelevant. Nice project for those who wanted the street toy back on the grind! Value/Speed proposition goes to ZL1. Plus listen to your favorite radio station.
Oh..... Noticing the heavy cloud cover, reduced resulting ambient temps, and possibly denser oxygen, could have been a factor as well..... if we are actually going to be picking the flysh*t out ot the pepper here.
