Glad the move is going well. Nice to have extra space too.

I'm going to be very curious how a non-biased track evaluation fairs for the ZL1. I think it will win the day, but track times from magazines are like statistics....................you can make them say whatever you want.

Now if only we knew someone who could provide such a thing..... Maybe there is a company that could run both stock at a track or two and then Mod them when they realize both times could use lowering.

Yeah I guess, I just don't get it when someone is surprised by the obvious!?

Not really. A vert has to have a trunk large enough to fit the entire top of an automobile.

Non-biased press is another concept that eludes me.

The ZL1 stands on merit as a bargain. The GT500 is what it is, a monster motor in a dated chassis.

I am sure I ruffle some feathers when I say I have been driving the ZL1 since 2009 in various forms. Next week I'll log a little time in the LPE L/28 as we dial in the setup. For me, the L/28 is the ultimate Camaro and others will be able to build thier N/A 5th Gens for less because the 1LE is the bargain of the century for 5th Gen hot rodders. I am already looking forward to the SS and 6th Gen and will probably be playing with an ATS as soon as they become available. ATS, SS and then 6th Gen. You can see why my mind wanders from the present.

BTW, I spent this afternoon with a Petty / Arrington / Pedders Challenger with a fresh out of the wind tunnel Petty front spoiler and rear wing and 900 at the rear wheels it might be faster than the ZL1 and GT500, maybe

Who's house am I in I thought the owner would already have his tats I must be in the wrong house
