It's amazing that everyone poops on the zl1, but when it stays at the back bumper of a gt500 you guys bust out the excuse book.

left on 2nd honk so it pulled 2 cars off the bat
let out at 100 mph
gt500 was clearly spinning

Left early, sure, op said he did. 2 car lead... no, 100mph I doubt it, you guys are funny!

The ZL1 is and auto, and the owner is a known shyster around STL, he left on 2, pulled a couple cars from the dig, then got freight trained, a roll would have been bad REAL BAD.

The ZL1 had a bus length on it before it hit the brakes.

Nah, they were both WOT when they passed the camera. The camaro hit the brakes after the GT500 "GOT HIM" like the smoke "GOT" Sweet Brown.....Aint nobody got time foe dat!! :lol1:

You can hear them both on the gas even though the back ground music was loud. They should have cut the music out when the horns started plowing. Still a great video!!

Im on the GT500's side, but at first i thought the ZL1 had a passenger, and i was gonna mention it. After a closer look, i saw there was no passenger. If the race would have been 100 more yards, the GT500 would have probably put 2 more car lenghts on the ZL1.

I think the GT500 came around the ZL1, but is that what you boys really consider getting freight trained? One car +/-?

Jumped or not, you chase you race. The way everyone acts around here the ZL1 have done by the 330. I think this video just goes to show how important the driver is.

When you're down 2-3 cars out of the gate, pull those back then add another before it got worse....

Yep, it also shows that ZL1 vs. Shelby is NOT evan a driver's race. To your point, even if the GT500 owner blows the launch AND give the ZL1 driver the hit, the GT500 is driving away at the 1/8 mile mark like a bad dream. Nothing new here.

Exactly. This has been shown true on numerous occasions now. Either way the zl1 is not a total slouch like some people wish on this site.

An auto car taking the hit and then people are surprised how he "held off" the Shelby for so long hahaha.
:lol:

So I assume if they ran again and the Shelby took the 2nd honk none of the zl1 minions would complain, correct?

There is a big difference between excuses and facts , you sure can't tell the difference

Maybe you should cheap in with SVT4ever22 and buy that gold ZL1 instead of dumping money into your Escort

Maybe you can tell me how to spend money properly so I don't trap 135 mph and run 10's like your old red pile of sn95?

New GM ad campaign?

"Camaro ZL-1 king of the street from 0-35 :rockon: "

They probably shouldn't say "Like a Boss" or "King or the road" for obvious reasons :beer:

Lets wrap this up, you'll find a lot more gt500's and people willing to spend 50k vs 120K for a corvette. You would even buy a CTS-V before a zr1 lets be real. Even a rich man that isnt a die hard chevrolet fan can see that.
