Just saying this is what makes it difficult to determine what is "best." It's easy to do it when taken in exacting context, but is there such a thing as an all-around "best" vehicle? I know the magazines try to do this, and this appears to be why the ZL1 continued to come out ahead even though the GT500 continually beat up on the car. Is quantification actually being placed at a lower standard to subjective feeling?

Oh, and bolt-ons and drag radials aren't stock the last time I checked.

Anyone own ZL1's in here? If so line it up. Don't think it's fair I'm running more boost and a bigger blower, put one on yours.

Chris has a sharp car with some good power on tap. I know he won't run me but it was fun nudgng him

It would also tell us that Jay has more money to mod his car and doesn't have kids yet. I learned the first truth of hot-rodding long ago...there is ALWAYS someone with a faster car.

Don't get angry, if it makes you feel any better the Lamborghini is a better car than both of ours lol

Hey you can't fault me for trying to get your car to race, whether you drive it good or bad. Ask Dan, he's known me for awhile, I'm always tryng to get people to race for the fun of it

I have no other motives behind that. Yes, I know your car is squeeky clean, so is mine.

Pfft, kids. No thank you. Jay is a poor bastard, I won the gt500 in a scratch off lotto ticket, ya thats it

Jay, me at a drag strip would be an embarrassment. I've never done it and the prospect of likely breaking something is enough incentive to not try.
