It is not like lopping .8 seconds off a 15 second car - when you are into the 11's and lower, each .1 is a huge improvement. So, to get an 11.4 on an unprepped track with street tires is no small achievement! My last drag car was an 11 second '87 Grand National. To get it from a 12.30 to an 11.70 car took a lot more mods than to get it from 13.8 to 12.3. This new ZL1 is a monster for a stock machine. And a base price of $62k? That's a performance steal.

62K For the ZL1 is a very fair price for the vehicle you are getting. Should be one hell of a performance machine.

I know this has been mentioned before and I know it sounds a bit trite now, but we really are obtaining supercar performance for the price of a run of the mill ubiquitous bmw 5 series. So, very few people should be disappointed about anything. These numbers are pretty close to what I was expecting last year when rumors started swirling about the new zl1. But I guess as time passed, the buildup and my expectations grew, hence the ho-hum reaction. |

I see this thing matching the Hellcat in the 1/4 mile. Considering that's the Hellcats claim to fame and it won't compete in other performance categories, but the Zl1 will - that's impressive. It will be faster than a GT350R on a track and faster than a Hellcat at the strip. That's no small feat. |

That car is WAY too quiet. Immediate first mod: headers, and remove mufflers and cats.
WAAYYY too quiet! |

As I have predicted in previous posts, this car will run 10s on street tires. It may sound like a lofty claim but with the driver mod, prepped track, and good air, it will be done! If they truly did run 127 mph with this car, I see that improving by at least 2 mph in good air as well.

Wow. I was considering a Z06 or the new Corvette Grand Sport... I may have to reconsider and get a ZL1...

Base prices are right about where I imagined they might be based on Al O's comment that if you could afford a 5th gen, you'll be able to afford a 6th gen. The $7k jump to get the Vert is right on track with the other 6th gens.
The one option I'm curious about is for the 10-speed auto. I'm going to predict it's a $3k option or better, I wonder if the 10-speed will be efficient enough to escape the GG tax. Somehow I don't think so. |
