ZL1 1LE Road Atlanta Record
Well guys, I present this to you with humility. Bottom line - I'm in awe at the machine that GM has built in the ZL1 1LE. The video below was taken today, and the car was in 100% stock trim with only recommended fluid changes and GM spec alignment. And it still has the stock seats and seat belts.
I won't go into all the details as to why I did not think this car would be this capable, but I'm very happy to say that it is an absolute missile in the right hands. Novice drivers need not apply. I am now going to be installing proper seats and harnesses in it so that I can feel safer going around the track at warp speed. This is a video of my good friend and Spec E30 champion Rob Eskew driving the car (solo) late in the day and he ran a 1:30.19! I was unable to get many clean laps due to traffic, and I was taking multiple passengers out (the paddock was full of people wanting to take a ride) who all screamed with excitement as I took them around Road Atlanta at warp speed (I was driving 9/10ths with a 200 lb passenger and still went a 1:33). Stay tuned to this thread for an update when we go 1:29s! Shout out to Markert Motorworks for all that they do for me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yZD...ature=youtu.be |

30 flat is smokin, for an OEM car, with a driver who surely is driving with enough caution to not take maximum risk. Amazing.

It’s hard to believe how fast we were going. But I don’t want to do that again in stock seats and belts. Quote:
For some reason it felt like the traction control was still getting in the way even in “Race” mode. Any thoughts? |
Hot damn! Thanks for posting. What a car and what a driver! Really, more telling than The Ring time.
|
Wow! One amazing car.

ZL1 1LE has mountains of grip to play with, without PTM (in the hands of a skilled driver such as above...I am not that...:laugh:) |
Great drive ! that is a smoking time for a stock car. I have been itching to find the time to get my regular Z out there now i'm really motivated.
Thanks for sharing . |
How do we turn the PTM completely off??
