That spot is used sev times a year.. the camera was at 1300 feet.. ish. And I hit my brakes and moved over becaus there was a car coming.

Ok, that makes sense. But open road, I am trying to say the GT500 would have continued to pull away. He muffed the launch and pulled from behind. And let me state.. I have nothing against the ZL1. GM does have more work they need to do to them. I just like racing period.

My 06 was lowered, tuned, secondary flies out and made 174 to the tire.. my new bike with 670 miles on it made 195 to the tire.. ( same dyno)
New bike is retarded. . I got it to go 9.83 at 143 dead stock and im no pro...

Back to the cars..
I have exactly this done to my car..
Ported blower ( did it myself so no cost)
Tb. ( off mybold car but if I had to buy it ) 500 $
Upper 2.38 pulley 100$
Cold air 400 $
Tsp 2" headers 475 $
.
I priced two diff gt500 s before I decided to go a familiar route ( I own a cts v that is a pulley cold sir car and runs 11.40s at 125-6) and both were 66, 000...my zl was 61, 000.

Now I dont care about the money aspect but as you can see I have way less in my zl.

I am 100% in agreement that in stock form, Gt500 is a tic faster, but I will be more than happy to start proving my point when weather breaks.

Good to know about the new Kaw 14. Might have to give it another look.....

My GT500 had an MSRP of $56,590, did 601 on the dyno bone stock, and has been 192 mph on GPS with plenty left. The way the car sits (with full warranty) it would pull my 997 Turbo from 60-up. At $59K, it would be putting 700 to the ground and things would get even more interesting. (maybe after the warranty runs out). These cars are the real deal and anything short of a newer exotic is going to have its hands full.

Say what you will about proving your point in the ZL1- once you add 80 hp to the car (no matter how little this costs) you still have 300 more lbs to deal with. That's a lot of concrete in the trunk to get moving from any speed. My point is simply that dollar for dollar, and mod for mod, the ZL1 will always be playing catch up to the GT500, no matter how good of a car it is.

Not to mention the ZL1 jumped the gun and was out 2 cars before the GT500 reacted and then the GT500 proceeded sling shot past the ZL1.

I still cannot get any ZL1s to run my car. I have a friend that has one but he refuses to let me make him YouTube famous.

Every gt500 thread:

5 guys with 11 and up 5.0's that have never owned a gt500 saying how it is the baddest car on earth, no real world experience.

Would be nice to have an event planned at a track somewhere center to everyone. I would try to attend something like that with some planning.
