Blaq hope you are able to get the C8 you want. Trying to figure out which car to get rid of ZL1 or Hellcat....sure seems like first world problems to me!
Sort of getting the thread back on track. I was at the NMRA/NMCA Super Bowl of drag racing this weekend. Got to see a lot of awesome cars go down the track. they also had a chevy and mopar event going on. So I got to see plenty of Camaro's, and Challengers go down the track. there was a few ZL-1s I saw go down the track. They were in the mostly in the 11s few might have been low 12s but the event they ran they were hot lapping them. Saw a couple of really good running SS camaro's which was nice to see. Last time I was at the track it was rare to see a new camaro actually racing lol. The SS times were all over the place. Lot of modified ones in the low 11s. Stockish (maybe) mid to high 12s Then there was the Mopar side. The 392 guys had times ranging all over the place. I remember most being in the 12s might have been a few faster but there was a few that really struggled launching and were in the 13s or 14s lol. There was a bunch of Hellcats, most of them in low 11s some dipping into the high 10s. Did get to see two Demons run as well. One was like a 10.33 at 133. I am 95% this one was stock(demon crate) and the other I believe had some work done he was in the high 9s. There was also a highly modified SRT Jeep running consistent 10.00. All in all it was nice to see some of the modern muscle cars in person and running real time. Been a long time since I had been to the track so it was great to see some running down the track with my own eyes. |

I didn’t drag in the competition on the second day. I was having severe neck problems (found out when I got home Sunday that I had sprained my neck. Probably from driving Tail of the Dragon Wednesday evening). The car that won the Stock V8 class won it with a 12.44.

Anyway, A new C8 Z06 with this type of engine will probably be well over $120K. And that is way more than what I'd feel comfortable paying for this type of car. I teased myself with the thought of getting a C7 ZR1 or a C8 Z06. But I just cannot justify paying that kind of money for a car that would have very limited use for half of the year. Even a $90K Redeye is too much for a RWD car...and that is a car that I actually could drive in the Winter with all season tires. I wouldn't even think of driving a Vette in the Winter. A Trackhawk or M5 maybe. But that's about it. I think I'd limit myself to $75K on a C8. That should get me one with a decent set of options. |

I'm a car guy and a Olds/Dodge fan, I like GM if we are talking 60-70's and 80's
89 Iroc would be one of the Camaro's that I take. |

here it is starting under 60K, the Z51 can hit 60 under 3 seconds and oh yeah its absolutely stunning to look at. I honestly think even if it started at 75 it would have still stole the thunder this has just been one of those things that had been talked about for so long and it's finally here. |

If you're into the 1/4 mile, it looks like the 1320 is the car to get in the pony car segment. Pretty awesome stuff in it that trickeled down from the Demon. The 1320 drubbed the GT* in this head to head, same driver, same track, same day. Plus, it's just a more practical car.
