No one can argue that.

Men lie, Women lie, number's don't.

Who cares where they placed overall, just pay attention to the performance numbers. Heck, if Honda bought 20 pages of promo ads from Motor Trend to publish, bet MT would have ranked the Civic 1st or 2nd even if it finished 1 lap 18hrs after the other cars have already gone home. Like many said, NUMBERS don't lie.

I was kind of surprised the Porsche edged out the ZL1 but the rest was pretty predictable. Godzilla drops to 3rd and would have dropped even further as the race continued. The Shelby was right there - blistering fast for $55k. LOL at the Subaru doing a doughnut at the quarter mile mark. That was hilarious!

Why are a lot of people here only turning high 12's/low 13's with the Z?

A 12.1 quarter is awesome and right on the mark for a 580 hp car/4094 lb car.

That was the best 1/4 mile (on film) for the ZL1 to date

Not sure, but wasn't this test done months ago? Maybe cooler weather helped. Maybe a test ringer sent by GM....lol.

MT got 12.1, and now C&D reports 12.3:



The ZL1 is definitely a low, low 12 sec car. So get your racing gloves on C5 ZL1 owners, and show us the low 12's!
