In all honesty though, I don't envy a ZL1 either. If I'm going to have a blower on a car, I'm going to do it my way, with completely forged internals. (For those of you that don't know, only the rods and pistons are forged on a ZL1, the crank isn't).
+Meth

The only thing that's sort of appealing is the mag suspension. Then again, I'd rather have a Pedders Justice package (coming soon)
I think the only thing exceptionally good about the ZL1s are the suspension. They are an awesome track car. But they're very underpowered... and weigh more... I mean they trap like 116-118? That's what a cammed LS3 traps! Just disappointment when compared to GT500.... Time to really step up the game GM but they won't because they can't step into vette territory..

lol you know we are all douches over in the SRK section ! Don't get me wrong, I'm butt buddies with tons of them and I love the 4th gen crowd more than the 5th gen but they're an untamed lot especially IRL. You ever gone to any race meets. They're pretty impossible to deal with at times lol.

I agree !! Never a jealous bone in my body. Because I look at it like this no one is doing, or have anything on their car that I can't get or do.

Not really, it would cost you more than the price of a ZL1 ...

Just as good doesn't mean exact copy. I would take an SS and $25k in mod money over a ZL1 any day. The SS would easily outperform the ZL1.

Wow - sure seems to be a lot of SS guys having to point out they aren't envious of the ZL1.... Sounds like the v6 guys replying to SS owners

How did cost come up in Link's comment? You can in fact make an SS just as good.. Mine's already faster in the 1/4 than most OE ZL1s I've seen posting here.. Hell, base GTs are faster than most times I've seen here.

You can make a bread box outperform anything if it's done right.

Gee, could it be because we're replying to a comment "And those who have the V8 envy the ZL1?" that's in the OP?




Nah, couldn't possibly be a solicited response..

shit, i envy the zl1. Overall it look alot more aggressive then a stock ss. But it doesnt mean that i dislike my car. With enough funds you can make anything fast. I just wished my came supercharged from factory
