It is not like lopping .8 seconds off a 15 second car - when you are into the 11's and lower, each .1 is a huge improvement. So, to get an 11.4 on an unprepped track with street tires is no small achievement!
My last drag car was an 11 second '87 Grand National. To get it from a 12.30 to an 11.70 car took a lot more mods than to get it from 13.8 to 12.3.
This new ZL1 is a monster for a stock machine.  And a base price of $62k? That's a performance steal. |
I completely agree. But everybody keeps talking about going in a straight line. With the reduced weight, eLSD, stiffer chassis, and bigger brakes, it doesn't seem like a big improvement in area cornering and braking. We'll have to wait for the ring times.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still buying one.
