I want to see what people come up with.
I know of one that is going tomorrow. Not expecting anything earth shattering this time of year (same applies to the ZL1 or any other car).

Thats why most if not all the fast times are run in cooler temps.

Sooooooo close. In better conditions it looks like it would surpass 200.

That's the part that scares the crap out of me, and the only thing that keeps me in check.

Yes, at sea level and temps in the 70's I'm sure it would go to 204 or so. Erik

So the car did 196 mph at 200 feet elevation and in the 80's in the Arizona morning. Any road course testing and comparable times yet?? Erik

Easy, big fella, I was actually referrin' to the White one...with the window stickers still attached...on its way to have the windows tinted...and I hope he remembered to take the stickers off, first...

But if you feel defensive, it wasn't my intent. So sorry. BTW, that Petty Blue looks good.

To make it up to you, how about a no-charge SVT Players' Program, complete with field positions?

http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...by-gt500-video

Are we good, now?

So, as you can see from MotorAuthority's rhetoric, it actually makes more like 800 hp, before pumping losses...unfreakinbelievable!!

I've seen the extra power to turn the S/C thing before, I'm sure the ZL1 makes significantly more than 580 when you factor that in as well.

No Petty Blue. That's what my moms hillbilly cousin from Virginia calls it. *shivers*
