Update, I've run a 2:25 on COTA, nobody here or anywhere else in a stock ZL1 1LE has done that on COTA, ... or honestly, even close.

Mark Martin here on Camaro 6 has run a 2:23.4 in his ZL1 1LE. Your time is blistering fast as well!

NOT STOCK

His time is on Slicks, not SuperCar-Rs, his car had power modifications like long tube headers, off-road exhaust (+100 rwhp), he has a harness bar/cage and racing seats and the interior has been stripped out. Not sure how long he will be an AM anyway, he's too good to be messing with HPDE fools like me.

Mark is my friend and he is very fast, but in terms of a STOCK 1LE, with no tune, no major power upgrades, on stock 1LE rubber, driven by an amateur, none have gone as fast my ZL1 A10.

I haven't seen an ALL STOCK ZL1 1LE driven by an AM go faster than 2:27 yet, I'm sure it could have happened or will happen eventually but most can't get below a 2:29 so far.

Larger to the point, I've really improved this year and most importantly really enjoy this platform and I can't see me in another one anytime soon.

headers, tune, and off road exhaust might be 40rwhp. The A10 kills the ZL1 1LE on the straights, and I bet your car is nearly equal if not faster on COTA's long straightaways. If you keep improving and go with slicks, your lap times may end up faster than Mark's.

IF people are only getting 40 rwhp from headers/tune/meth nobody would be voiding warranties for that...most tune only cars pick up 60 rwhp. Anyways, my goal was to prove the A10 ZL1 with 1LE aero, same tire, would be as fast or faster on most tracks. Not sure if I really did that because the sample size is too small, but I think they are close enough to say it's a draw.

Thanks for the kind words, possibly running Hoosiers next year.

They WOULD void the warranty, because without a proper tune, you could do some damage.
I would also agree that its only worth about 40hp, not 100 for sure.

Now a question to everybody who has experience on the track with the A10: Does the transmission hold up, or does it overheat?
Is it potentially faster than the M6?
