I believe I see a Huracan hiding in the shadows of your garage, how does the Huracan compare to your ZL1 in terms of lap times at the tracks you frequent?
That Huracan is gone now but not forgotten. Great car but she never saw the track. She's been replaced with a Huracan Performante Spyder which will never see the track either. The ZLE is now a permanent track car. Roll cage is on order as well as seats and harnesses.

Such a quick car to 60 and the 1/4 mile.. a pulley swap and headers on the zl1 will match it on roll race, I'm interested to see if the A10 zl1 will have better times at Nürburgring than the Hururcan. Needs to make about 20 seconds up.. watching the video of both cars the driver works so effortlessly in the Lambo compared to the zl1 1le driver shifting gears.
It's really unbelievable how good cars are becoming now days and maker!

^^^ Better than the Performante at the Ring? You're dreaming.

The performance is not even close. They can't even get the ZR1 to break a 7:00 at the Ring. No way the ZLE even with the A10 will come near that. Might be 4 seconds better than the current time of 7:16 at best. The ZL1 did a 7:29.

The ZL1 is truly a great car. Best car for the buck by far. ZLE is the best track car as well for the dollar.

Let's be real here. It would need 24 seconds for the ZLE to TIE the Perfomante. Not going to happen.


Seems that Chevrolet is a LONG way from getting a product to go sub 7:00 at the Ring.

So just curious, but what would it take for the ZLE A10 to keep up with the Perf in the ring? Is it weight or needs more power?

Needs so much it would be impossible. I don't think the Camaro IMSA car could break into the 6:40s.

Seeing how the Zl1 1Le has a faster time than the lt4 C7 06 the LT5 version isn't going to do much better with a wang and 100 hp.

Take Nero out of the seat and let a lambo's or Porsche's driver drive with 100x more experience drive.. that and a better transmission and easier car to drive will make a difference! maybe not 24 seconds but close and chevy keeps giving them cold tires when they do there laps unlike the other teams that have heated tires..

remember:

1/4 Fast Car
Road Track Fast Driver

Doesn't that car just have an LT1? IIRC it was doing upper 2:10s at Sebring, which while not slow, isn't really fast either.

To note.. I'm not disagreeing. I don't think there's any chance in hell an A10 ZLE will touch the Huracan Perf time at the Ring.

BTW Kevin, should I run the ZLE in Blue for fun?
