true, but the classic battle at the strip is mustang vs camaro.....we (camaro enthusiasts) want GM to rule the strip. I don't care if a turbo civic shows up and wins....it is still a civic.

Im sure the car will get stronger and stronger as the time passes. The ZL1 auto cant be that slow. In Al Oppenhieser's simulations runs, the auto ZL1 was quicker than a manual ZL1 and Im doubting a manual ZL1 will ran more than 12.0s at the strip with stock supercar tires iN a bad day. Also, the LS motors has this unique characteristic of producing more power after some miles. And w/ the UP in HP after 1,500 miles, UP will go the MPHs at the Strip. So I shouldn't be worried at all guys.

Btw, Im still waiting too for that announcement of "Late April Fools".

Anyways, I for myself don't care about Drag Strips. Or racing at the Streets. This car was made to live on a Road Course! That's where this car shines! It wasn't a coincidence the Z28 marked parts."

^^^I guess that post just reeks of brilliance.

That being said, it's just a supercharger. It's what my car put out when it was just the blower, headers, exhaust on it.

The zl1 is only 80 more hp to crank than my ss right now

Yup.

But to make up for the suspension, balance, Gs, and air flow you'd have to spend thousands. And still not have the extra tech.

I agree with you guys. I'm just saying the ZL1 is still worth the money.

wow! my L99 (with a Maggie) makes 470 rwhp which by all means is nothing impressive when it comes to a F/Ied SS.

surely I would've thought an auto ZL1 would hit at least 500 rwhp.

dang.... I guess now I'm not feeling too bad about not owning a ZL1. lol

mickey123456 · 04-13-2012, 02:52 PM

You guys all need to relax. This is a car that puts down 510-518 rwhp in manual form. It will run 11's with a manual. Just give it some time.

phoenix14 · 04-13-2012, 02:55 PM

Ya know, if GM wanted this car to be a straightline drag car (and most of you are disappointed it's not) they would have had videos on youtube of the car at the drag strip for the last few months instead of putting it on track at the Nurburgring...I'm just saying....

zfuzz · 04-13-2012, 02:55 PM

Didn't Lingenfelter just dyno one at 518rwhp and 513lb torque ? Or am I misreading something ?

So if I read that correctly, it sounds like the one Hennessey is testing may have some issues.

2012ZL1 · 04-13-2012, 02:56 PM

Oh ya its still worth the money. This ain't no stellar drag car at 4100 lbs, we all knew that. Just would have expected a little sharper numbers going on "guestimates and "Calculators" this thing shoulda run 11.6 in perfect conditions weather and track..
I think there's room for improvement on the stock numbers anyway. I will try mine at track here when it comes to see for myself for sure..

Sniff sniff. I smell something......

A big fat turd!!! Lmao

Wow, a loss of 113 HP from the crank!
Disappointing to say the least.
