Park that little thing next to a top alcohol dragster that's putting out 2500-3000hp all day long doing 5.50's in the 1/4 and tell me how big your ego is then.

Completely pointless comment lmfao! My ego is adequate and my crew I run with (in Meheeco) have 400-1100 hp STREET CARS. Who gives a shit abt an alcohol dragster? We don't proclaim to be anything more than common ass guys with fun cars that we drive to work during the week.

I have not seen any fast CA6 ZL1s run at Atco yet. I know there is at least one out there locally but no times yet. Plenty of mid 10 to high nines LSA 5th gen ZL1s.

As for street racing it is a form of natural selection at work. Unfortunately sometimes the selected individuals cause some collateral selections. That is the real tragedy.

And roll racing doesn't require the same skill as launching a high horse car from a dead stop and piloting that car for the first 1000 feet as it moves around hunting for traction.

Some people like the process of building their cars, to see how much HP they can do with certain mods, hit a drag once or twice, and then move onto another project. The 6th gen Zl1 (moreso than previous generations, or 6th gen SS's) is a Track/Drag/Street monster. Few cars ever built have been better at all three simultaneously for this price point. Doesn't mean people have to do all three, just means they can if they want to, or just do 1/3, or 2/3.

Lastly, most ZL1 owners have the money to do what they want with them regarding modding, simply because its' fun. AKA money to burn

I test my car in Canada and Mexico all the time. That railroad crossing up there is exactly a quarter-mile away from here. On green, I'm going for it.

I'm always in Dublin/San Ramon visiting family. I just might need to pm you to find this spot in Canada . Rolls that way are pretty much non existent (at least when I'm there). I heard 3 honks and some engines roaring on Dougherty rd though a little before I fell asleep last year. Don't know if that was random or planned it was around 1or 2 am.
