'15 S550 auto GT Paxton, stock PSI, pulley, Injectors, tune, DRs = 10.5@132
'17 S550 auto GT Paxton, stock PSI, pulley Injectors, tune, convertor, DRs, seats out = 10.259@135.51

All in negative Atco air of course and were the result of much seat time. So It could very well be just about any puffed out Coyote might be capable of 10s with more seat time. But some get discouraged and don't come back to get better.

My ZL1 has run a best of 11.184 @ 129.07 with 17" DRs and a Rotofab. So my opinion is yea bolt, on a supercharger to an auto Coyote and you have a faster car than a stock ZL1 IF you learn how to drive it. I would say the same for current gen auto SSes.

And BTW my ZL1 is regularly crushed by a local bolton auto SS.

But I can't say any bolton Coyotes have beaten me so far. But then I see very few of these.

Yes a GT and a SS with a blower would typically be making more HP than a stock ZL1. Most of them have upgraded to a smaller pulley and are on a race tune when they come to the track. So I believe you when you say they are faster than a stock ZL1 as I have experienced this myself. Some of them are even further modded with a TC and LTs and all sorts of other stuff. Again, these are far from the "simple bolt-on" Coyotes that we keep hearing people talk about. The problem is that people go around repeating this like it's Gospel when it isn't. So these guys really do think that a GT with a blower only is a 10 sec car...or that simple bolt-ons makes a GT faster than a ZL1. Thanks for your input man!!
