I was actually looking at the ZL1's before I got the 2012 GT500. Im not a road racer and pretty much drag race only so I went for the damn good deal I got on the 2012 GT500 when the 2013 GT500's came out.
I think we got spoiled with the ease of launching the 392s, with a knee issue it would be a plus to be in an automatic. Do you think SRT will come across with the SC 6.2L, might want to wait for that. I'm with you though the ZL1 with an automatic is interesting, I watched Stephen12ZL1 run consistant low 11s a few months back, it really looked smooth off the line.

Can a Whipple 2.9 be mounted to the LSA? I think that would be the ticket rather than going internal. I though that Jannetty was doing something along these lines awhile back. There is a member here named GMRULZ who has a 10SS automatic with a Whipple / Headers /Tune and I watched him tear off effortless 10:80s on the stock converter, the LSA should be stronger.
