I'm not a drag racer except for coming out of turns, but it seems it's simply a traction problem. The trap speed looks beastly. Should pull a ZLE in the straights pretty good. Still waiting to see what kind speed it can carry through the turns...

132 mph is pretty fearsome , I wouldn’t buy one because I’m one of those silly loyalists to camaros , but that’s damn impressive. I’ll eventually supercharge or turbo my 1le and will be happy with it.
Someone’s always faster right ? |

The GT500 and all cars with 700+ HP need certain conditions to be met to run their ideal times. Camaros and Corvettes typically do not. This is not only a traction issue but also a testament to how well these cars are built and balanced. Therefore the GT500 will have a wide range of times that it runs all based on outside conditions. In ideal conditions and with every method of getting traction to the ground it will do splendid. In less than ideal conditions (like on the street) and in not so ideal temps/DA it will run much slower while having a high trap speed. The ZL1 will have much better consistency and repeatability. From what we have seen and as pointed out by Hotlap (I think) the GT500 at it's best will be approx 3 tenths faster than a ZL1 in the quarter. It comes down to potential. The GT500, if it can take advantage of all it's potential, will be faster. But the ZL1 will embarrass the Hell out of the snake otherwise.
