I told him it's advertised to run an 11.4, but I think it'll run 10s in the right conditions. He laughed and said, "No. There's no way it'll run 10s if they're advertising it at 11.4. They've done all they can do to get that number and you'll be lucky to match it." He's usually right, but sometimes even an old dog learns a new trick. Lol!
That's awesome... Now you can show him your 10 sec thread and videos and a lot of others beat the 11.4 time as well.

We were all over this stuff back when the 1st TPW dropped.

VINs may not be sequential but the lower number came off the line before the higher numbers. Just had a few Cadillacs and other Camaros mixed in.

Here's the post that we listed a few. http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showpo...21&postcount=1

Thats crazy! Very cool! Im 199324 which is way higher than the 3048 zl1 total based on those first buil vins. It would seem impossible to calculate a build with any accuracy.

Correct.... unless you were in the very 1st batch there is really no way. They could have numbered them like the 5th Gen Z/28 and Z/L1 which also had other cars on the line but this was a different plant and the decision was made not to.

Figure a few hundred cars a day coming out of that plant per day it's crazy to try and figure this stuff out.

Oh he knows. Lol! He went to the track with me the first few times and witnessed me run a few of my 11.1s in the summer heat, so he got on board with me real quick, and started telling me if I could manage to cut one of my low 1.7 60's in some good cool air, I'd run a 10. So he went from no way, to you'll do it. Lol!

That's so cool that they gave you a matching watch!! They should've done that for the first 50. If HyperBlueX2 is really #23, going on the average number of ZL1s built between your VIN and his, I could actually be #24, which would be pretty cool, as Jeff Gordon was my favorite driver. I may have to message GM and see if they'll tell me.

They said they weren’t going to make green and advised me not to wait. Thanks GM. I’m glad I didn’t take your advice. I have a Krypton Green ZL1 . Really happy they didn’t produce that! Lol

I received an email saying 54 yellow 2017 ZL1's but they could not say how many were A10 or 6 speed. Yes I thought the number was low because I watched and waited as the cars became available. Yellow is a color you love or hate but I think it's the fastest!!!!

only 4% of the 3048 were Garnet red (without giving exact number). They just replied to my email.

Garnet red is a gorgeous color. Very classy and weird that it was that rare. Congrats for those people driving that car. Rare and classy indeed. I like the Krypton in a way but obvious why it's rare as you either love it or hate it. I'm sure those that have it love it!

You have to email them. 3048 ZL1s and 1813 (i think) A10's. But if you want your specific color you email them at gmhc@gm.com but they dont have complete break downs except for krypton green. So you can find out how many garnet tint coat A10'S. Just the total.
