I don't. Fastest pass was an 11.5 with a 1.8 60ft.

Tour mode may allow more rear squat and traction from a dig, my understanding is that you still get 100% throttle.

I have a GTR that was stock, then FBO, and now an A9. I recently picked up a 2017 ZL1 as well.

Based on my experience with both cars I would expect an FBO GTR to beat up on the ZL1 from a dig. Now stock for stock on a road course I have found the ZL1 to be faster most of the time.

The ZL1's ride quality is better than the GTR for daily driving.

Just my perspective with both cars.

11.2s as opposed to 11.4s in tour. But i only ran in tour twice when i learned that i needed to be in competitive driving mode. So sport 1 sport 2 or race preferably. Sport 2 n race open up the throttle more.

Is your car still stock? I know I had a little more in the car, but I only got 2 runs in before a Vette dropped his bottom end and spilled oil all over the track.

Must either have no idea how to drive or his car is definitely just exhaust and tune/93. Because a 700 AWHP, AWD car will have no issue beating a heavier, 550 RWHP, RWD car by half a second or more. A 700 RWHP GTR should be mid tens, maybe low tens. So far, numbers have proven that a stock ZL1 won't run faster than an 11.1-11.2 in normal conditions/driver.

Im not trying to be an ass by saying this but did you read the high performance manuel that came with the car? If explains the different modes and effects. Taking stabilitrack and traction control off in race mode releases the throttle more. I can rattle of 11.3s all day easy. In touring i have to get lucky to get an 11.4. Just try it.

Buddy of mine has one less than 700 AWHP and it's well in 10s and it would destroy me even on my best launch. Riding in one is like a damn rocket launch when it takes off.

I tree'd him pretty good on both runs. I ran an 11.5 @ ~123 with a 1.8 60ft. He was running mid 10's with crappy launches, don't remember trap speeds. Definitely weren't perfect runs from the GTR, we were just out having fun.

Yeah my buddy has a Boost Logic car, think it's around 750-800 RWHP and that sum bitch launches SO HARD you can't even believe it. He's V-boxed 2.2s 0-60. A friend of his has the same package and has done 9s. There's no American car that can keep up with a GTR from a dig if both are equivalent in power (And in this case, it has 100+ RWHP more than the ZL1). Even on Rolls they're absolutely nasty with them Turbos and most guys don't keep them stock, a Turbo swap, tune and E85 is all you need to shut just about anyone up. A guy I know has a ZR1 putting down like 750 RWHP on a Mustang dyno and ran the GTR I talked about before and the GTR is ahead until about 120 MPH then the ZR1 walks right by.

It would be pretty sweet if GM gave us a 700+ HP Twin Turbo engine from the factory so we could just Exhaust + Tune and grab another 100-200 HP without opening engines and going crazy with pulleys and stuff. The beauty of Turbos.
