3 yrs ago i decided to change the strategy from a full blown trailer queen to a capable stock car with full warranty and havent regretted it. I am at the point of switching to a new car soon (part of the new strategy) and your vid brought a ZL1 back into my mind (again). Especially with an A10. So, thanks for that
Funny you should mention a high school bully with a Camaro, as a well driven gen6 Camaro is one heck of a bully: on a track! Enjoy your car and post more vids as your season progresses.
Cheers!
PS 230F for an A10 is that good or bad? I have no idea as i never had to monitor tranny temps. |
I seriously considered the ZL1 1LE with the auto, but the ride (which is not painful) had me go toward the regular ZL1 because I thought I might be driving it on the street more. Had I to do it over again I might get the 1LE version especially since I could use my 20" SS 1LE wheels I bought as a spare set on it and do the regular Supercar 3 tires on it instead of the 3R's which last about 1 weekend only.
On the transmission temp, I'm not sure on this car. I know from towing that if you hit 230 on your truck transmission it probably won't last long. But perhaps this trans is engineered to handle that? I know that every 15 track hours I am supposed to change the fluid which for me is about 3 track weekends with Chin. I will be more than happy to take it to the dealership for this service as it becomes GM's problem if it blows up after doing that. Have to love that on-track warranty!!
