Im really disappointed with my ZL1 performance

I was blown away with my first 1.8 60'.. it has a lot to do with track prep and temp at my track for sure..

They can learn back and forth from the high to low octane timing maps, but pulling the fuses is the quick way to get it reset.

Yea track prep a big thing. On street my best was 1.9? 60ft launching in second gear lol
I agree easier with less power but was just saying no where near impossible.

I hope the OP gets his issue fixed, I really do. However, who here really thinks pulling a fuse is going to solve his problems? Really?

You bought he perfect for you because you cant drive and could not learn how to drive. GTR are robotic cars (not everyone) and its not that good looking for the price. Look is subjective though.

My mild H/C LS1 is faster than a GTR (485hp one). Im pretty sure a good running ZL1 is as fast as a pre 2012 GTR. My friend had one and its truly a supercar.

AWD will always put it first for traction until RWD guys use DR or slick.

GTR are fast yes. They have the awd for traction and a super fast shifting tranny that doesnt take anytime shifting..
but it is $110K and ZL1 is $58K
you can make a 800HP ZL1 running 315 drag radials and beat the gtr for like $8K..
My camaro runs 0-60mph 2.8sec 10.8 @ 129mph on drag radials i daily drive on.. its not far off what a ZL1 is if you up the boost.
now equal HP to equal HP GTR is faster since the gears are a lot tighter and shift takes .08 sec.

GTR vs corvette (same gear ratios as camaro pretty much)
