Whose will be the first auto to go down the 1/4?

big dave · 03-21-2017, 08:00 PM

I just can't wait to see just how quick these cars will be. The auto's are here, the miles are being racked up. Somebody's gotta have enough break-in miles to make a pass at the track.

I'm very curious to this as well. I hope Ron at Vengeance or some other track guys like Mlee get out there. I'm on the side lines with a TPW of 5/8.

First Friday night I get after I get mine, I'll be at RPR to get some times, break in miles or not.

I'll be on the Drag Strip in San Antonio on April 8th... and a couple days later will be doing dyno and runs against an Auto Hellcat Challenger with John Hennessey so stay tuned for that video.

I'm at 1,200 miles now and will be done with break in after this weekend.

Did you do any filter or maintenance at 500?? I'm at 400 & don't see how I can get the break in done in time for SA. (if I can even make it)

No need for that. Corvettes have break in oil that requires change at 500. Camaros do not.

Plenty of other stuff at San Antonio and some low key auto x wouldn't be too bad. Sunday cruise will be cool too.

Good stuff for sure. I will look forward to seeing some videos and time slips.

Sweet may have to go check it out. Do you know if April 8 is a test and tune or a special event?

By any chance, do you know what is the appropriate mileage mark for the first oil change for the ZL1? Thank you.

See pages 266, 267 of owners manual - "Engine Oil Life System - When to Change Engine Oil"

Basically, you will get a message from the computer letting you know it's time, OR it is recommended to be changed once a year.
