What are popular faster cars than a ZL1?

SpiritedAway · 06-29-2022, 10:47 PM

Living in Austin TX, I see a lot of Mustang GTs (have yet to see a GT500 in the flesh), a Hellcat every now and then, some Porsches. Bunch of BMWs.

But I’m wondering, what are faster cars (that are not extremely rare) from a roll vs a ZL1?

I did have some fun with an Aston Martin recently but most people don’t even try vs my ZL1 😝 unsure if they just know the result, are non-competitive people or just had partners/kids with them.

Cheers!

You sure about the GTR? Don’t they have less power?

Some GTR will do fine from a dig or slow roll where tire spin matters, but not sure if they have the top end mojo to roll with the Z.

Most people don't race on public roads. Go to the drag strip, you'll find plenty of cars to race.

GT500 for sure
Hellcat Redeye
Possibly Hellcat Challenger narrow body
BMW M5
Z06
ZR1
Late model Dodge Vipers

Anything modified however, all bets are off.

On a roll, there's plenty of cars.

C7 Z06/ZR1
AMG GTS/GTR
5th Gen Viper
Challenger Jailbreak (assuming it has traction)
911 Turbo S
911 Carrera S
911 GT3 (close race)
718 Cayman GT4 RS (really close race, I'd think)
GT500
BMW M5
BMW G82 M4 Competition (close race)

There's an uncomfortable number of Audi's that are a tune or tune/downpipe away from really putting distance on a stock ZL1. Same goes for many BMW's. Mercedes' cars aren't as reactive to those two mods but, they can certainly move out so, don't dismiss them. I think that's pretty relevant considering how easy/cheap those mods are, along with how common they are, too.

Based on that list I assume the Camaro is still the price performance leader?

Bang for the buck, yeah, absolutely. You could prolly make an argument for a used car that you can get a great deal on like, a C6 Z06. That should be quicker than a ZL1 on a roll.

Snowwolfe · 06-30-2022, 08:13 AM

CT5 V Blackwing. Auto is capable ot 11.2 100% stock. Would be a drivers race. Costs more than ZL1 but also has a comfortable rear seat and much more tech.

I got pulled off a fast corner by a GTR and a Porsche GT3. Nothing I could do but reel them back in on the brakes.

Isn't the GTR 4 wheel drive? That could explain why it hooks up better with less power.

Also honorable mention to the Mercedes AMG GT R and AMG GT S.
