Funny story about that burnout...
Tony Roma, Camaro engineer, was the guy piloting the first time...the track was wet...and he managed to pull off three successful burnouts with the same car, consecutively. He tried for a fourth -- but all it did was spin the tires a couple of times and stop. He got out to inspect, and discovered the Eagle F1s were "gooey"...they were SO sticky, he said he couldn't get all 580 hp to spin them in first. Sounds good for a drag strip, if you ask me. And the sound. OH, the SOUND!!! The ZL1 sounded like it was yelling some primeval battle-cry at the top of it's lungs. IMVHO, this car has bar-none, the BEST sounding exhaust system of them all. The only thing I think could make it better is some headers to add a little volume and lope. But DANG!!! It's an intimidating sound, the ZL1 makes. |

I just cringe when I see these sorts of burnouts for nothing. Makes sense to warm the tires or clean them at a track, but just to deliberately ruin tires like this seems very foolish.

Hey, we will all have to agree it's foolish, but we are all nuts about the cars and it's just plain fun. You could make the argument that it's foolish to spend 55K just to get from point a to point b too, but we are more than that.
