I didn't think the 5th gen ZL1 could even trap that high as that's on par with the Gen6 ZL1.
EDITED: I thought I remembered him putting his times in his signature and went back and looked. While his runs are certainly impressive it is not 12s on all seasons and low 11s on summer tires, nor is the MPH in the mid 120s. This is how mis-information gets spread and is a real pet peeve of mine.
5/10ths and 5 MPH isn't "similar" by any means when talking drag strip times.
If he ran faster and just didn't update the signature let me know.
From Dave's sig:
'13 ZL1 BRM A6. 11.591 @ 119.2 factory stock with a 1.68 60'! Best stock mph 121.8. 11.29 @ 123 RotoFab, drag radials and skinnies. 4360# raceweight.

Pet peeves, huh? Maybe you ought to get out of the car and into the gym.
The quote was as follows verbatim:
"goes from a 12 second car at 125MPH on all seasons, to a low 11 second car at 126MPH on the summer tire option"
So the "
low eleven seconds" to a
mid eleven seconds gets your dander up? I did
not quote 11.0, 11.1 or 11.2.
You inserted that as if that is what I quoted. The HC still wins. I simply said it was close. It is a difference of 1/4 to a 1/2 second. Worlds in 1/4 mile race.
And that is not with optional upgrade tires, but the only way the Z came. But with $695 in options (HC upgrade) that would buy a lot for the Z to make it even steven.
