Brah... holy shit. Speed PLUS trunk space?!
Love our Ctsv coupe. Fit and finish are far better than a 6th gen, mustang, or challenger

Seems like plenty of dealers offer supercharger kits with warranty on the gt's
You know I had forgotten about the trunk space in a terminator

Where have you seen that mentioned? The ZL1 has 11 heat exchangers (not just for supercharger, obviously) and better cooling performance than the Z06, which apparently is noted for having heat issues at the roadcourse once ambient is in the 90s, IIRC.
We have a few of them that have been at the track 3 or 4 days a week doing session after session with no cooling issues, pretty impressive for a boosted car
it's a bit misleading, believe that warranty is limited and only applicable to stage 1 cars, anything beyond stage 1 and you are on your own. Pretty sure you have to go back to the dealer you bought it from as well for any powertrain related issues.
FWIW, on another forum there was a guy at COTA doing a track day. There were 5 ZL1 1LEs out there, every one of them had overheating issues. One of them got 17 minutes out of his, the others were closer to 15.
He said it was definitely hot, over 90.
New zr1 has this issue too. In the motortrend best drivers car article, GM was “begging” to run their time early in the morning when it was colder. They couldn’t and didn’t, ended up running 1 second quicker than the c7z. GM did magic with these supercharged cars. But they will heat soak lap after lap in hotter weather.
There is only so much you can do I guess.
It makes me concerned for the GT500 but maybe they will get it figured out.
The ZL1 is a much better car than an 03 Cobra. I had a Whippled Cobra with full suspension. Sold it about 4 months ago with 32k miles. It was fun on the track but limited with it’s old technology suspension and heat issues. I had both cooling systems upgraded and tuned to match. Car just felt cheap on the interior. I now own a 2018 ZL1-1LE. Awesome car. Interior is very nice, plenty of power. Have not tracked it yet due to not enough break in miles. I was a Ford guy all my life but this ZL1 is really something special and is very well designed. The Alpha chassis the 6-gen Camaro is built on is well thought out and works very well. The ZL1-1LE is lighter than a standard ZL1.
It’s obvious the OP should get a challenger hellcat.
Except he wants it to turn also. Lol!
Hell cats handle great
I’m sarcasming.
I do like hellcats a lot though. I like the zl1’s and cts-v’s a lot too.
Zl1 is decent, just slow for the power
For me a 550-560 rwhp 4k pound A10 ZL1 running bottom 11's I am ok with lol. They have seen 10's correct? Not bad for a stock car for me.
Odd considering ive first hand witnessed them going all day averaging the same incredible lap times with no issue. Its one of the only oem cars besides the GT3's that tracks all day and then drives home. We get to triple digits in temps too
