I cannot see it making that on stock internals, but correct me if I'm wrong....

Agreed, they will have no problem reaching that power level.

Sure, many supercharged SS (like mine) will smoke it in a straight line and some may also corner better but if i can afford it, I'd take an original over a Frankenstein any day. What's disappointing IMO is many of the same members crowing about the ZL1 when nothing about the new GT500 was known are now mum or insecure or defensive about it. |

The only thing I ever liked about the zl1 were those pimped out black rims. The front is pretty cool and so is the hood but IMO GM shouldn't of put the LSA or s/c it. S/C is just not something you do to the camaro. IMO an LS7 would've been the way to but oh well. It's always fun to pulley a car down although I bet a good sum of money very very few zl1 owners will mod their cars. |

I like so many others prefer my Frankenstein, and it's straight line, cornering capabilities that will smoke just about anything out there at least for the next 2-3yrs. Last edited by calbert1999; 01-16-2012 at 11:00 AM. |

Ya know what...I think chevy should just scrap this whole ZL1 thing alltogther and just re-release it with fat slicks on the back and skinnys in the front....Remove all the fancy suspension and make it lighter because people don't seem to give a flying sh*t that this car is meant for more than just going in a straight line!
It could be faster than the the newest GTR time around the Nurburgring, but if it lost by a tenth to the GT500 on the 1/4 people will write it off. So sad. Tired of people saying "well my blown SS will be faster" well guess what..its still not a ZL1 and your car would get its ass handed to it on anything resembling a track. Piece together a car making nearly 600 horse, with all the suspension, chassis, and driveline components of the ZL1 with a warranty for at or under what the ZL1 costs, and then you can talk. Otherwise, show some respect. As for the new GT500...If that thing can actually put down the power and handle, and manage to cost about what the ZL1 costs, well then I give props to Ford.

Also it probably will cost the same considering the base price of a GT500 now is about $5000 less than a ZL1 |

As for your argument "build cost" of a comparable vehicle, it's pretty obvious that a huge auto maker can build a car for less than a hobbyist expecially when we can't get credit for the stock parts, but doesn't mean the hobbyist can't build a better vehicle. |

That's the difference between you building your own car and someone out to make a profit mass producing it. You don't go cheap. If you are making a 600rwhp you are going to go with the best. You are going to build it up using the best parts. Not buying Chinese Metal and having Mexicans assemble it.... are you? |
