Somebody needs to tell you that B&N are planning to close 1/3 of their stores in the next 5 years lol. Books aren't quite dead but magazines are on life support, I get emails all the time with offers of free subscriptions. At one point I had 6 different car magazines coming and not one of them were bought.

They have the automatic.

Live weighing:
Front Axle: 2040 lbs
Rear Axle: Not Mentioned
Total: 3926 lbs

Lieberman says he would take the ZL1 over the Z06. Handles better - more controllable in corners.

Someone need to tell them to stop sending you magazine offers.

Just watched the 0-60 and 1/4 testing. The best they got was with no nannies on and it went 0-60 in 3.8 and the 1/4 was 11.8 at about 124 mph. Raw numbers with no correction. They made 10-12 runs (I lost track). Quit when they thought it was starting to heat soak.

There should be no corrections, it ran what it ran. About the same numbers as the CTS-V I think.

Not as fast as it should be??

Motor trend corrects all their testing for weather and atmospheric conditions according to SAE standards.

They mentioned it should come out a bit quicker after the corrections are factored in.

One thing they cannot correct for is that they ran on 91 octane. Probably could have got more out of it with 93.

Wait, stop the presses (thats print media jargon for URBAN LEGEND ) I thought this new ZL1 could not heat soak?

I doubt it, 91-93 isn't going to make that big of a differance. What we see is the new A10 isn't a whole lot quicker than A8 in the CTS-V at the strip atleast.

They stopped when the mph on the last run dropped to 121 versus the pretty consistent 124's they were getting in all the previous runs. It was casually mentioned - maybe some heat soak because of the mph drop. All the many runs were done in about 30 minutes and they never shut the car off between any of the runs. FWIW I posted what I heard them say as casual conversation between the driver and the film crew for all the data points I've shared.
