Like what do you expect man... to top it of, that 1000hp package that Klasen offers costs 75000 euros, the upgraded clutch alone costs 17000 and every aspect of the car seems to have been beefed up, including transmission. It is beyond ridiculous to compare a tuned super car that costs 270k usd, to a stock Camaro SS that costs 40k usd. I mean I can understand you're new and all, but come on, this is just common sense. Trust me, if you think a ZL1 is gonna be comparable to that monster R8, you'll be just as disappointed when you get that.

I’m not expecting a 650hp ZL1 to be comparable to something that ridiculous. That R8 is incomprehensibly ridiculous for me, I’m no where near good enough to control something like that, hence me starting new, my SS is actually my first car loan (2nd car) I sold my 2008 E90 335i (first car). I controlled the 335i fine, I’m still learning the SS here and there, that’s 300/300 to 155/155 extra and the ZL1 is yet another 195/195 extra on top of the SS, I’m not ready for a ZL1 yet, idk what 650 torque/acceleration and power is like (yet)
WHEN I get that ZL1, I’m not going to expect it to be like that R8, but I do want the A10 transmission to be responsive to my liking, I want the power to be under my control AS I REQUEST FOR IT—NOT DELAYED. That’s all I’ve been trying to get across through my last 2 threads[emoji31] and yes, I’m still new to the gear/power band learning thing, I don’t drive in the triple digits, and I don’t endanger anyone around me, I only do these practice pulls when I’m alone and no other vehicle is nearby. I know a majority of members here dislike me because I’ve bashed on the car in the past and shouldn’t be driving a 455hp car at my age because of my lack of knowledge and some still think I’m trolling for whatever reason, I don’t know why really (probably because they think the car isn’t even mine’s and some else’s, I’m just trying to record the gauge cluster and windshield so y’all can see what I’m doing wrong virtually, but having trouble trying to get something to hold the phone at just the right angle)
here is my 335i btw, before I sold it.
