ZL1 still a track car after HP mods?

So could all those modders out there let me know if zl1 suspension is still good enough for the track days even after these 800hp mods? or does all this horsepower become to much for the mag ride?

The cooling system is the first thing that will need to be upgraded. I would suspect the suspension to be ok but I'm not an engineer or anything.

I agree... The ZL1 would definately seem to benefit alot from an upgraded cooling system. As for the MRC...

I don't see why adding performance mods would lessen the ability of the suspension to work correctly.

The ZR1's MRC seems to work just fine with crazy HP levels as far as i know. Plus i think the one on the ZL1 is a little more advanced/better so...

I plan on taking mine to 700hp (flywheel) and running road courses. I suspect cooling will be an issue. I will likely run a race brake pad, slotted rotors and a second set of wheels and tires. I think the suspension should work just great stock.

Just curious if it can still take corners and what not after all these HP mods, know the AMG Mercedes have a lot of trouble with corners after their HP boosts.
