This is looking more and more like a prelude to the Z/28 in my opinion.
ENJOY!!!


I have always thought the same thing.......
But, I really don't want it to.... this coming from a ZL575 owner.

Fools gold, I'm not sold. FAIL

No Upgrade package for this car should ever exceed $10k.

Cool car, but these stats for 585HP/550TQ are not all that fast. This should be a 10 second car. Such a shame that the weight of these cars holds back their potential. Expensive too.

saw one of these in person,same color as the video.it is a very impressive car.

These are pretty impressive times to say the least... look at the extra weight that is already tacked onto what is heavy car now. These are corvette 1/4 numbers..... with 1000+ lbs of additional weight... take as an example... for every 100lbs = 1/10th on the 1320. So to say its not impressive isn't an understatement, but its VERY respectable compared to cars with equal power and a hell of lot lighter.

My other comment would be about the 2nd video???.... I mean if you're gonna post a video... atleast have ba!!s to drive it.... I think i wasted 5 mintues of life watching that.

[HumanWiki]

Seen them in person. Not really impressed. SLP is way too proud of this car.. It's certainly not worth the $$ they're asking for it..

Anyone know what size rear tire they are running on a 10" wheel?

I think the write up stated that the rear tires were 295/30r20. I run 295s on my 10" wide CCW wheels on my V and that size fits right in with the recommended widths for a 10" wide wheel.

I still don't know how they achieved that great of a 0-60 time with only having 295s and street tires (even though the PS2 are awesome...but insanely overpriced).

It is strange, because I think the best 60' I've seen on a V2 V (it was an A6) was like a 1.8 60'. That car was heavier, but I'm a little skeptical of that 0-60. The last test they ran on the 575 was on DRs if I remember right, so maybe they did that this time but just didn't mention it If that is what it is, then GREAT!

Are they over-priced because they don't deliver, or are they just great tires that cost A LOT? I know they flat-out perform I bet they could get 305s on those 10s pretty easy though. They've gotta' be either of those though from what I can see in the video.

Yeah, I hear ya on the 60' times, and something does seem a bit off on these times, but I hope they are correct, and repeatable on the street. Anything under 4 seconds 0-60 is stellar in my book.

PS2s-- I kindof have a thing against them. I haven't priced them out lately, but I remember from about 3 years ago a 295/30r19 being something like $430 per tire. That is just ridiculous. Those prices are almost 2x what other comparable tires cost. You can get r-compound tires for much less. I personally run Toyo T1-Rs, and while they might not perform quite as good as the PS2s, they also cost about half (and the Michelins for sure don't perform twice as good).

I just know that there are so many other great tire choices out there, a person shouldn't have to spend over $400 per tire on something that is going to wear out in 15,000 miles anyway. My thing is, buy a great summer tire for the street (but at reasonable costs) and then get dedicated track tires, whether they be drag radials or r-comps or full slicks (even better), that way you don't really have to compromise on tire vs. cost vs. performance. Real life here, I can get a set of summer tires and a set of sticky road race tires for roughly the same price as a set of PS2s. The downside (if there is one) to my way of doing things is you have to have 2 sets of wheels.

P.S. I added some more stuff to my post while you were responding...oops.

Hmm... Thank you for your comments. Aren't Pirellis pretty similar, but not as sticky? I know, at least for me, I'd like a tire I can drive in the rain without worry, but would love to be able to take to the track when it's dry. Dont' get me wrong - it's not like I can afford the PS2s anyways, but if they could come standard on the car, I think it's a good starting point, no? I completely hear you on the price though - no disagreement in the least

I've never had Pirellis, so not sure on those.

As for stock tires, the PS2s would be an awesome starting point and great all-around performer (street, track, dry, wet), and I think GM should start offering those on all their performance cars. But, I would switch to a different tire after they wore out for the reasons stated in my previous post.

Also, I believe Michelin is coming out with a new PSS (Pilot Super Sport), and I think that might take the place of the PS2 and bridge the performance gap between the street PS2s and the track-only Pilot Cups. They are supposed to be freaking sweet, but of course, they will charge an arm and a leg for them.

Nice..But that still isn't fast enough for me! lol. Even there proposed ZL1 won't cut the musturd for 125k.
