Didn't think you could answer it. Least I tried?

So you're just here to call me a F'ing troll? You can read my posts here too. Posts 1-10 were trolling because the car came out and didn't perform like Al O. and his simulations predicted. I got warned and since have lightened up.

Lol at going to SVTP to read my posts for troll verification.

If I was OP, I'd be doing e'erthing like fuse pull reset in case the pcm is wacked out. 111mph is off. Good luck OP you'll get there.
What would you say the difference in their car is from the rest of the fleet?

Time for a ban then... like the rest of your buddies you report back to...

...you can carefully word your replies all you want since your warning, but the fact still remains...

I am not at all disappointed because I know that this is the slowest it will ever run. Mechanically, it seems perfect with very low miles. I just wanted to baseline it before a few simple mods like air intake, pulley, tune, and ported TB.
That doesn't seem to be the scenario you painted over on the svt forum when you posted this, there, right about the same time you posted it here.

As I asked you in Post #49, were those nice folks at the ford site able to offer constructive assistance? Before all the smilies and headslaps?

The next thing you'll finally admit to is the tank contained 87-octane. Did it?

Pages of "fail"? I'm pretty sure you had an idea this might happen, and that the Pony Posse would follow up. Which they have.

Kudos

It's getting to be a pretty sad scenario when the Ford folks have to come over here, disguised as Camaro comrades, to spoon-feed our threads. And when there's nothing for them to participate in, they create threads...

Pony Posse...we know where you live...

Ban me then. Then you can live life to the fullest knowing that one troll is gone.

It's your site and your vendors that lose out when everything has to be so PC and people get banned for nothing.

BTW. You still didn't answer any of the questions that I was trying to help the guy with. Who is the troll here?

Still waiting on "ring times and VIR times--and the brakes may be good for one stop--but do they hold up after repeated stops?

If you're going to use your initial runs as a baseline against further mods, the only way they'll compare is if you make all subsequent runs on hot/muggy days as well.

My humble advice is for you to make more baseline runs in better weather conditions before you mod. I think all of us here would really like to see that!

Dont care about Nav, don't care about sync. Waiting on VIR and Ring Times. May be a bit slower in the 1/4, but thats OK. I love the all round performance and I will have to admit comfort of the car--its way easy to drive fast. Also love the Tour mode suspension. Also don't know about brake fade with the GT500 brakes--just about zero on the ZL1.

Would I have liked it to be a consistent 11.6 car--Yep, but what remains for me is its all round performance. I do think Chevy needs to up thier game--in the meantime if I really feel the need for speed more I can go over to Andy at ADM and for less than 3K be at 700 plus at the crank reliably. May not get me 100K like the pwertrain warranty but I am sure I will get 60K--the length of Ford's powertrain warranty, I believe.

JMHO

At the strip last week, my car that should be running 12.5s ran 12.9s to 13.3s in the high DA area of Memphis. I'm sure October weather will be kinder to your ego...be patient.

This is the only place I have posted this data and it definitely has 93 octane in the tank. I used the gas hose that was attached to the 93 octane pump...have no control what the station puts in the ground tank.
