Just a quick comparison I did between the ZL1 and the different Corvettes.

Z51 - 0-60 3.9 QM 12.2
Z06 - 0-60 2.95 QM 10.95
GS - 0-60 3.6 QM 11.8

ZL1 - 0-60 3.5 QM 11.4

The Z06 and ZL1 are auto transmissions and the Z51 Package and GS are manuals.

Factor in the pricing and you can see what a performance bargain the ZL1 really is. Plus I think it's the more livable vehicle out of all of them.

What's going to be interesting is how the ZL1 responds to minor mods like a Rotofab CAI or exhaust.

In the last gen you could get a no tune CAI and headers, some would get a CEL some wouldn't. Seems if you went beyond a CAI, headers etc. You need a tune.

I'd probably just do the Rotofab CAI and call it a day. The ZL1 is already fast enough.

I can't recall an actual review of the Z06 where it actually put out those numbers. If those numbers were true the GTR would not beat it out so badly in every acceleration test. I don't believe the Vette puts the power down well enough for anyone to consistently achieve those numbers if at all. I could be and probably am wrong, but Motortrend and Randy certainly could not get those numbers.

I am interested to see what the ZL1 will do, because I have a feeling with the right tires it is faster than the GTR in the Quarter Mile by a good margin.

ZL1 better be in the 10's at over 128mph or it will get laughed at while on a drag strip.

It would be hard to laugh at a 60k car with the current numbers such as the ZL1 has already posted 11.4 QM at 127 mph. Can we name another new car faster for the same money non-modified? The Hellcat has 57 HP on it and I bet this ZL1 will walk away from it.

The Hellcat weighs considerably more than the ZL1, around 4500 lbs if I'm not mistaken.

I'm sure it will only be a few more weeks and someone will run into a Cat and it's gonna happen.

It might be fast enough today, but eventually you'll get used to it and crave more...if you like fast toys...it's going to happen
