Ugh. Take my money

I know it's totally subjective; and it's been mentioned several times before, but damn....the styling of this car.

Almost sounds to go to be true

. I guess we will have to wait and see!

Impressive I must say.

Think ours decently moded hits 50-55 or so in 1st

CamaroFred · 08-23-2016, 04:41 PM

If they use the same trans ratios and drive tires as the 5th gen and change the final drive to a 3.27.
60 in 1st, 160 in 4th @ 6200 RPMs.

Yeah...60mph in 1st on a perfectly prepped track, not in the real world...

I should hope the new ZL1 does 0-60 in first gear considering the outgoing GT500 did just slightly over, if I recall mine would go to about 62 MPH before needing to shift in first gear. It's an exilerating feeling and makes the car feel like its accelerating faster than it really is. I'm hoping the new ZL1 does because that will make trading a more likely thing for me.

A preped track has nothing to do with whether or not a car is capable of going 0-60 in first gear. I think you're confusing it with the 1/4 mile time the car will pull or the time it will take to get from 0-60 in real world conditions.

The ZL1 is so friggin badass. Just more reason to own one.

That might be true as I also am not a fan of the 6th gen, BUT!!!! its hard to look at the styling of a car from the inside during a 3.5s 0-60 pull lol

Its just to make the magazine numbers look better and give the internet racers that buy it but never race it something to brag about imo. Because that is what sells a lot of cars, printed numbers of 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. And not having to shift makes this 0-60 slightly faster.

I keep seeing this 1st gear number thrown around, usually by SS owners. Is this for the 6060 in the SS or ZL1? They are different and have different ratios. Anybody?
Or maybe I can find out on the way home from work today, lol.
