I watched it and was impressed with the handling of the ZL1 in the corners just amazing! And the stance of this car is absolutely awesome! Kudo's to GM.

Keep an eye out for it

"Normally", MOTORWEEK on PBS is ONE week ahead of SPEED & VELOCITY, but for some reason, a couple of Saturdays ago, PBS preempted it for steam locomotives. The next week (yesterday) should have had the ZL1 full test, but it's as if they skipped it. If you go to the MOTORWEEK website, they should have that "test" video segment fairly soon. Unless something else gets in the way, those capable of getting VELOCITY should see it Tuesday night. I advanced my Time/Warner DVR all week & I don't even see MOTORWEEK on SPEED listed; ODD!

As these shows are often produced weeks/months in advance... I'm hoping that it's not going to be a COLD test.

OK... I suppose that I'm going to have to wait for Tanner Foust on SPEED Channel's Battle of the SUPERCARS for something of merit. Last night's MOTORWEEK was merely an extension of the VIR circuit runs from a couple of weeks ago with some factory numbers tossed in. I had hoped for the relatively more "in-depth" 60 - 0mph stopping distance, 1/4 mile traps, slaloms & 0 - 60mph acceleration times at Roebling Road Raceway, but it just wasn't happening. I'm guessing that it was just too cold when they filmed the segment.

This is nuts, how come nobody wants to independently test the ZL1 I hope we don't have to wait till the 2013 Shelby comes out. Yes I would like to see them compared, but I just enjoy seeing the ZL1 too.
