If that is what you are talking about, great, I can assume you that 99.9% of the C8 Base nor the Z51 buyer is thinking of cross-shopping a Zl1 1LE Camaro.... Happy now???

I will note that you have FINALLY stopped talking about how your 1LE is going to destroy C8, and now you are racing somebody else fictional unicorn on pin ZL1 1LE ...too funny, it is like saying your dad can beat mine .... great. Please write this in inverse print and put on your forehead, so if you need it, look into the rearview mirror: "note to self don't get into any contest of performance with high heeled admin assistants in C8... ego can't take it... self out"



I can assure you central Texas is alive and well when it comes to people driving performance cars street or track. I can tell you that i'm on my 4th set of tires under 20K miles... My Type R is probably on its 30 sets of Dirizzza how many tires does your "race car" go through
You spin a good yarn but you got nothing . In time we will see what the C8 can do against a SS 1Le and we can talk about it then, i'll be here . And do your self a favor and buck up and get some better tires , you may even go faster . Who said anything about a race car ?

What? Summer tires are not "faster" than all season. You should put some base Camaro all seasons on your 1LE then and save some $$$$$$$

I have PS4s, also had Yoko, and Nitto 555R, got any suggestions. Me thinks I have a little more HP, than you ...... Let me know when you are it the area so we can compare whose car is faster...

So lets sum this up,
Me the C8 is a heck of fast 0-60, must be in a large part due to the mid-engine layout.

Gen6_1LE, no it is only the Z51 with magaride and ELSD,

Me it really more about tire compound

Gen6_1LE, tires don't make you faster

Me... MEDS is the new opioid crisis.

Gen6_1LE, well putting Z51 tires on the base is not going to make the base faster than the Z51, so obviously, tires don't make you faster

Me... this guy just does not understand basic logic

Gen6_1LE, we see as I tear them apart....

Me.... easy tiger...

I would have to think the elsd could only give the car an advantage. I do know there is a calibration available for elsd in the Zl1 for drag racing . Part of the drag pack .

It won’t be faster the a Z51 , the base with Z51 wheels and tires may be faster if the computer lets it .

What??? did I ever say a tire change on the Base would make it "faster" than a Z51??? I have consistently said the Z51 is faster in part because of the tire.
You sure I'm dealing with an adult here?

Wait you go from the eLSD and magride is what makes a Z51 faster to um dunno it "could". LOL. Right, and it could just add weight and do nothing. Obviously tire compound is what gets good 0 - 60, obviously to everyone but you that is. U just can't come to turns due to MEDS, that the C8 has awsome 0-60 times, a direct result of it being mid-engine. Classic MEDS denial phase. It passes.

I tried them too, I'm partial to Derizza for the handling, Nitto 555R for grip

Nothing wrong with RE71s, for a street SS, it is hard to beat PS4s.

Looks like you have more of a problem facing facts , like the C8 won’t be as fast as a Camaro around a track . Like I have said before you got nothing, let’s wait for numbers .

Yes RE71s was what I was thinking, I’m not sure but I think my buddy runs them on his S2000 .
