Weight - 4120 pound ... yet she checked in at about 7:40...

Wow, she is a sweetie.

Andy@Livernois · 10-24-2011, 05:39 PM

only found a couple of typos...

rodular Iron main caps? nope, Nodular would be correct

the GT500 does not have Ti-VCT, it is fixed cam timing

there might be more, but those 2 just jumped out at me

There is really only one thing I am not quite sure about with the ZL1.
The M6 has a 3.73 gear and 1st is a the close ratio 2.66 which is fine.
BUT. 6th gear is a .63 overdrive. Why?
The MN12 M6 has a .57 6th gear(GTO, CTS-V and some Z06s).
There was originally a .50 available also.

So if they ZL1 has beaucoup tq, why not put the .57 or even .50 6th gear for lower rpms AND increased gas mileage?

The Zl1 will have a 0.67 final overdrive not .63...
why does it matter anyway?
just curios?

While I was doing a new vehicle delivery at our dealership today my boss was watching the ZL-1 video today and he mentioned that 2500 was the projected production numbers. He was not able to check our allocation do to the website being down(possibly because of too many users checking allocations??). Because we did not get allocation for the ZR1 Vette I am guessing we may not get a ZL1, but time will tell. I hope we do

Same here Cully,we didn't get allocation for a ZR1,and I didn't get time to check with our GM if we got any for a ZL1,I kinda' doubt we did,but theres always 2013!

If it came in SGM, I wouldn't think twice about trading in.. But at this point, it's a downgrade. Sorry. Green with silver stripes is ****ing beautiful. All those other colors can go eat a Ford.
