Hen's does seem to choke around 4500rpm, bad gas or limiter kicking in? though lin's is nice and smooth its still only 510hp for manual.

that would definatly explain the decnet 60' with lower than expected trap speed.

Ohh well it will give a weekend to feed the trolls.

I don't get these posts....and your point is????

You realize there is more to the ZL1 than power right? Are you simply trying to make yourself feel high and mighty because your N/A car has "only" 80 less HP.

If so....sad.

I guess making jabs at the ZL1 must make you a bigger man? You've left 2 or 3 random negative posts here in this thread alone, not counting your responses. I think that is quite enough.

How about waiting to see more results than baseing all of your predictions and assumptions off of one car.

I repeat...its ONE CAR PEOPLE.

Good Lord.

Lets see when the pre production put down less than stellar 1/4 mile runs it was cold weather, track conditions, tires, solar system not at optimal alignment..

Now production car with normal weather ,respected tuner and less than stellar times...

But wait now the excuses.............this is not a drag car..., not broken in yet, looks better than the chally or mustang, not fair to compare modded SS to stock ZL1, the GT500 put a slower time in at my local track, etc...

Ford mustang gt gang will have a ball with this one not the GT500


Hell yea the excuses are flying. It is what it is. It put down 467rwhp....the mph should be about 4mph higher. Period.

Yup... and I was also there in an auto turning 13.9's... After break in I was hitting 13.1


Looks like maybe Tuesday for another run or two...

Yippee, I'm in luv with my car all over again. I've run better times both stock and with DR's. And others have run better than me, much more consistently.

Not trolling, just was really expecting faster in stock trim. I'm sure as people get more time with the car the times will get better.

My point is there are varying circumstances. I'll reserve judgement till I get more chances to see.

Also, yes, we can't forget the factor that the less the numbers THIS car has, the better the final Hennessey numbers will look as far as gains.
I'll agree.

And I don't see a bone stock auto SS doing 12.50, maybe a standard car with a stellar driver and drag radials.
