Lets estimate ZL-1 numbers

Based on the ZL585 I am going to guess (on a good day with a decent driver):

0-60 mph: 3.5
1/4 mile: 11.7
Max lateral G 1.0-1.02 ( Its was going to be called the Z/28 so I know GM would want atleast hit 1.0g) 285 35R tires on 20x10" wide rims in front should be able to do that.

I assume it will have better off the line traction than the ZL585 because of the beefed up suspension but might slightly wiegh more.

Here is what I've come up with...

Wow, interesting graph, very detailed. Doesn't the LSA redline at 6200? How much does that change the performance numbers?

You are correct about the redline being 6200. I also found the updated transmission gear ratios.

New report is shown below;

even better!

That top speed would explain why they had to go from a 180 mph speedo to a 200 Assuming the car weighed the same as the SS, how would that change those numbers? You don't have to make another graph lol, just 1/4 mile time and trap speed and 0-60 I'm interested in

No problem, what would you like me to run the test weight (with driver) at as I've see SS weight to be inconsistant.

Oh, the 4050 is WITH driver. Hmmm... then that seems about right for the SS's weight. How about with 620 hp and 595 tq? If I modify, that's the power I want to stop at, approx 550 to the wheels lol

The ZL1 at 4050 lbs with 620 hp at 595 ft/lbs tq would run...

11.70 @ 121.8 mph

If your 620 hp and 595 ft/lbs tq was measured as RWHP and with a set of Drag Radials it should run a 10.49 @ 131 mph.

To accomplish a 10.8 pass with 620 bhp and 595 tq you would need to get down to a test weight of 3550 lbs and run Drag Radials.

Damn! Very interesting stuff! I just wish the LSA had forged heads and titanium rods. If it did, I'd feel safer bringing it up to 620 RWHP. Damn heavy cars!
