Mojave Mile with Stock ZL1 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am considering running the Mojave Mile in April with my stock 2105 ZL1. Only upgrades are a Roto-Fab CAI and a catch can. Just wanted to get any tips, pointers, concerns etc... from anyone that has had a chance to do this. Thanks

Check all of the obvious fluid levels first. Make sure the lugs are torqued properly and air pressure is normal. Mile runs don't require a long burnout sequence as many have tried hard launches vs easing to the throttle wih little differences in mph at the end. You can't waste time but a dragstrip launch is not necessary for a mile long event. Make your shifts at redline, keep the car pointed straight, and hold on. Over 150mph isn't that scary in a ZL1, feels very composed, and tracks perfectly. You will be suprised how quickly a mile is over & done. The first 1/4 will feel like an eternity in comparison.

Good info. thanks! Any thoughts on what a stock ZL1 will do at 1 mile and at 1.5 miles? This is actually a 1.5 mile run with 1 mile shut down. Any need to tape any seams on the front end?

No taping required. Stock rubber will be the limiter
It's fun to do atleast once. Crazy cars there with some cool folks

I ran the Mojave Mile/Magnum yesterday in my 15' ZL1. Only modifications are a Roto-Fab intake. My best run was 168.7 in the mile and 182.2 in the mile and a half. The car felt very composed and connected to the airstrip at these speeds... Love my ZL1.

WOW!!!! That is really movin!! Got any video? I would like to see that.

PhantomZL1 · 04-12-2015, 09:57 AM

Wow that's is pretty impressive; 182 mph. When the ZL1 ran Nurburgring it only got to 172 mph down the high speed section which is also about a mile and a half.

I'm jealous, it sounds like you had a blast. Thanks for sharing.

At your horsepower level, you might just disappear and go into another dimension.
