Found another ZL1 last night. Previously had raced a pre-production unit that some co-workers took out for lunch a while back and managed to put a car length on them.

This one was a full on production unit. Black with black wheels and interior, very menacing.

Several runs from various speeds and the outcome was about the same, just about a car length from the hit then held him off the rest of the way. Gentleman was very cool and gracious gave me a big thumbs up. Started telling me how he also had a laguna seca boss and also liked mustangs too. Then he asked who built my motor... I laughed and said...um I did. Didn't have the heart to tell him the short block was stock and had over 200k on it (its a bolt on GT with spray)... :kaboom:

So at this point I'm fairly confident I need not worry to much about these amazing GM ZL1's as long as I have juice in the tank, once there modified that might be a different story :-D

Looking forward to meeting up with a 2013 Shelby, I will gladly allow him to show me his taillights! :D

:beer:

Nice kill! Damn those 5.0 pushrods hold up well. Good to see them still taking down camaros lol.

Might need to send a letter to mobil1. Since I've been running it since 10k miles.

truthfully I realize I'm on borrowed time. I just hope it stays together long enough to save for the new combo, that way I don't have any down time from summer cruises. I mean my wranglers fun, just slooow as hell...lol
