I hoped it was Carlos Lago instead of that clown.

So all that is is a .47 sec teaser. Where is the actual review?

Good review. That 1/4 mile time is going to be faster specially since MT does it on a standard road not strip (don't understand). Also in the magazine it was noted that Randy went back out in the A10 with adjusted tire pressure and I think a few other adjustments and ran an unofficial 1:25!!!!!!!

It's on motortrend on demand. You have to pay the $4.99 subscription to view. It will probably be on YouTube for free in 3 months or so. I just watched the 15 minute segment and all I can say is wow!!

Yes, I saw that! Amazing! I wonder why that was not mentioned at the tail end of the video review?

I think a big thing to take from this review is they shredded 6 sets of rear tires without a hint of heat soak, and the fact that Jonny and Randy both said they prefer it over the Z06! And of course I have to appreciate all the love they gave to the 1LE at the beginning haha

Yeah, I was hoping for a 1LE Hot Lap. I think they may have run one because there is a time for a 1LE on the Willow Springs site.

Really makes me wonder if I should downsize from my Z06 to a ZL1 and save a few bucks!! I'd love to see them throw on some of the Z06's sport cup 2 tires and see those test numbers again! I think the lateral grip would go up the most

They ran an M6 and A10 side by side for the hot lap. I won't spoil which car won.

Very impressive video. Enjoyed the nice comments about the ZL1. Both transmissions really did great. I think people will be happy with whatever tranmission they choose.

Also liked how much better times they had compared to cars that are above 100k dollars. I can not wait till a good head to head episode. I wonder who they might put it up against? At this point, I am not sure who. The hellcat seems to be good from a straight line from what I am hearing. But, maybe not for the track where ZL1 should win. But, should still be interesting to see.

I tell you what, GM has the most exciting vehicles right now. Z06, ZL1, CTS-V, Z/28, SS and SS 1LE. All are really exciting cars.
