With someone like Evan Smith driving, I can see the ZL1 running a 10.8-11.0 @ 124-126 with a set of sticky tires and cool weather.

That would be awesome. Even with tires. But I'd have to see it to believe it.

You're right though, we will just have to see.

Ya that would be 9% DT loss. I can't see that but they are suprising me all the time. lol

If an SS with headers, cai and a tune only runs faster than 11.7 then the ZL1 can expect 10s.

So I am assuming you ran 11.7 or better in your SS with headers and a tune?

Fbodfather, you had said before that "we have not spilled all the beans" on the ZL1, since then i don't know of any major revalations. Is there an additional "surprise" when the first ZL1s are delivered? A yes or no will suffice! Thank you!

Well check the times and guess what the ZR1 was still on top. Even the Z06 was faster. So next excuse?

Actually i just saw it for 89,000 msrp on edmunds.com which is between ZR1 and ZL1 prices.

i was going off the 69,000msrp in my original post. my bad guess it went up!

No I dont own an SS but I have run mid 12s with a stock SS. Just doing the math.

Too little on the front vs rear = understeer???? (hey that rhymes!)

That makes sense.
