Lets just throw it all out on the line. I have a tad over $43K in my car at this point. For another $5K max, I can have a rear end capable of holding 1000hp. Power is almost limitless in the LSX I have, far more capable than the LSA in a ZL1. Mt point is ONLY, for me, I like to personally build, choose parts, modify and change my vehicle. I LOVE seeing other camaros, other SS's, and even other cars, and them thinking im stock. I get a kick out of it. So for me the choice was clear. That ZL1 sure is a sexy beast, but my baby is #1 in my mind. For now.

The boss isnt going to even be in the same ballpark performance wise as a ZL1. |

...and damn you're right on the 900+ too. My block can't handle that. I had two builds before this one. My last SS was faster than this one but to go further would have mean't a ton of other upgrades (what you're up against now) Hence my reason for the ZL1 was simply the beefed up platform. 3 grand in engine mods without changing a thing in the driveline and I've got a mildly modded car that can handle anything I throw at it.

But I would have bought the Z06 first... |

Oh please... it's not a totally opposite polar difference (stock vs stock) from a performance/numbers perspective so don't read or interpret it outside the context I stated. I agree the ZL1 will be ahead of the Boss but to say it's not in the same ballpark performance wise? 0-60 ~ 4 flat - low 4s and then the 1/4 ~ low-mid 12s is pretty darn overachieving for a non-aspirated 5.0. Big part of that is due to the fact that the Boss is ~400 lbs less porkier. Those crazy numbers are almost at par with the Z06, so how can you not give even some due respect when compared to a ZL1. I still like the ZL1 over my Boss but I wouldn't blatantly say it's not in the same ballpark. IMO doing so would be ignorant... and I'm a fan.

Based on the first runs the ZL1 did at Nurburgring...it was deemed the fastest car on the planet under $75,000. That's above some Lambo's, Porsches, Corvettes etc.
That's a pretty clear statement...it's highly affordable based on it's performance level. Let's put this into more perspective. It's an modern American muscle car competing for times against Euro Supercars. Last edited by SabotAndHeat; 10-24-2012 at 03:30 PM. |

The Woodlands is a freaking joke, and the "car" meets there aren't meets at all...just a bunch of non-gearheads showing up to flaunt cars they don't even know the whole story on. And of course, the most expensive car just must totally be the coolest. The Woodlands....freaking fail. |
