First ZL1 1/4 Mile Numbers.... (best of 12.04)

[shinzon]

Lets not forget that VENDORS like LOWER baselines to show HOW MUCH IMPROVEMENT their tunes or bolt ons gave.... let's all be mindful

dang.... I guess now I'm not feeling too bad about not owning a ZL1. lol

..I would.. unless your only objective is to go fast in a straight line.

That being said, it's just a supercharger. It's what my car put out when it was just the blower, headers, exhaust on it.

Yea, mines an auto too. And I barely have anything done to it. And it's just as fast. I have no supercharger either. Sad.

oh don't get me wrong. I would love to have a ZL1. but knowing I have just as much rwhp on my SS makes the pain a little easier with not being about to afford a ZL1. lol

Not even close. So. Let me ask this to all you all knowing guys....did Chevy come up with 580hp out of a fresh engine or a fully broken in engine? Things that make you go hmmmm.....

Did anyone watch the dyno video in this thread? What is happening at 4500 rpms??

So you assume that you couldn't get in a ZL1 and run better times than them? Or you assume that they can drive your car as well as you do?

Again, your times in your car are different day, different place, different car.

people need to relax...as stated above lingenfelter got much better numbers out of the car they tested didn't they?....why does everyone bypass that and go with the hennessey numbers....geez this thread brings me back to high school

LPE Car was Manual Trans.

the 510hp was a manual, which was supposed to be slower than the auto accord to GM ><

The original ZL1 was a halo drag car....the Z28 was the road race star....I'm just saying.
Maybe an entirely different name should have been thought up for the 2012 ZL1.
Blitzkrieg Special. Lol

[grimmace]

exactly.....think about it....no way GM would publish numbers for the automatic as being faster when in reality its that much slower.....guarantee something is wrong

I've seen it a bunch of times. Guys see a car run and assume that it's EVERY car of the same year make and trim. Not accounting for driver and conditions.

Again, don't go by the single run and car. Go by the average.

Do I believe for a SECOND that a stock SS runs 12.5? HELL no. But One guy claims he did it. So then I can assume that a Stock SS runs mid 12s right?

Wrong.

No matter what your "tuner" saw, I see a knock retard problem at 4500 and up rpm. Same as alot of the SS's. Look at the graph! I would be instantly pissed but I see the problem, very fixable.
