Is the MRS going to be standard and not an option?

600 HP....most people have no clue what that feels like. I can't believe they are actually producing this car. The uninitiated will be saying lots of expletives once they mat the pedal for the first time, thank God they survived the ride, and modify nothing because it on the outer limits of streetable sanity already. Only the hard core adrenaline junkies, speed freaks and card carrying motor heads will modify it. I don't think I will mod mine. I believe Chevy will tweak the easier first thing on the list HP gainers most people do before the final production. The ZL1 is just plain flat out spectacular, and will probably break 12.0 from the factory. OMG, sweaty palms with perma grin. Also folks please stop with all the poverty lines. We are mostly all in the same boat. You only get what you pay for in this world. GM and Chevy will develop and deliver the best product they can for a fair competitive price. You can't drink chapagne for beer prices. I am prepared to do whatever it takes to secure one, knowing I wont have to dump 12K into my 2SS to make it what I wanted when they are making it next year the way I wanted one, only far, far better than I could have possibly expected. I am a product specific loyalist, Camaro. I know what I want...a ZL1, if it costs 53K, I will find a way to be able to afford it. Simple. Eat pork and beans to have the car? You betcha!.

But it hooks, and that is the only difference between my Chevelle and the new ZL1. Now if you can get the ZL1 to hook with slicks, it should take the punishment with the heavier duty drivetrain they have told us about. So the ZL1 could run in the 11's in this case, completely stock. That is an extremely fast production car and way more than the average guy who doesn't race is used to. Modding for actual racing will be for the racer who wants go tens, but anything under 11.5 requires a roll bar. Modifying the ZL1 for the street with no traction will be a complete waste of money IMO

Its a awesome looking car but no need on getting one I have more HP and TQ than the ZL1 has. If I were to try and make the same HP that I have now it would cost way more, you would have to change cam and SC which imo wouldnt make any sense. I'll just blow the doors off the ZL1 when one pulls up....lol

When I bought my Tuscan (400bhp, 1060kg car) I said I'd leave that standard. After the conrods gave in at the crank... I went SC all the way.
As for the ZL1: definitely will mod it, both cosmetically and performance wise. Cosmetically: T2 front fascia and hood (don't like the T3 front and the heat extractors). I know they may be functional but just prefer the T2 ram air hood looks wise Performance wise: forged pistons, and reinforced internals (conrods and the lot), pulley/SC swap to up the power and lose/replace every unnecessary heavy bit |

If I go through with buying the ZL1, I would be buying it to enjoy it and modify it to my liking and needs. Which normally means more power and making sure that power meets the ground. I would hardly touch the exterior, with the exception of tasteful mods (tint, different color bowtie, etc).
Just because the car is expensive and may one day be valuable, if I have the last ZL1 on earth, doesn't turn me away from modifying it. |

Normal people couldn't fathom 550+HP. It's not a regular occurrence for most to even see a vehicle with that kind of power. Cars with this kind of power/performance are less 1 in 1000... Those lucky enough to ride the thing - myself included - will be more than happy with it. Hell, it should be a treat for pedestrians and other drivers to just see one of these passing by. And that's why I'd be happy with leaving it stock. |

If I do get one way down the road after the SS is built and I buy and pay off a truck I would get a CGM ZL1 and PC the rims black, 35% tint all around, wire the exhaust baffles to a switch, SW headers w/cats, RF intake, smaller SC pulley, dyno tune and MGW shifter. Should be a solid low 11/ high 10 car and could be very easily put back to stock.
