I mean if you're only trapping 110. Did a quick look up on them and 117-118 was normal.

Lets set some things straight. The cars you have been racing have been non inducted v8 cars. Your talking about racing a zl1 which is a forced induction v8 so you just lost your advantage. Zl1's trap in altitude @ 115 - 117 stock those were from guys @5500 ft. At sealevel the record right now is 119 point something trap. A zl1 is a damn good race for a 2012 GT500 and there is no stock turbo cobalt on this site that will run with a stock 2012 GT500 I'm sorry they are just chasing unicorns.

I'm just giving you the heads up he will walk away from you especially at upper gears. The zl1 Does not stop pulling they actually pull harder past their 1/4 trap speeds. So if your race goes past 115 ish it is going to be a complete washout. Just figured I would help out.

But if ya'll do race get it on video it will be a good watch those cars sound like pure sex too!

hey man, just film the race so we atleast get to see a zl1 in action. but honestly unless your turbo swapped making at least 450whp then i dont see you hanging with those at all.

My buddy got his red one last week. He is still babying it so I haven't had a chance to see what it can do but it sounds sick.

I assume this thread is a joke and we are all being trololololed.

In the off chance that someone thinks their SS is going to take down a ZL1: Ummm No. Well, maybe if he keeps it in Reverse and you race from a roll?

Go with James. If you have checked the reason thread about BYT, I would hold off on that.

Using ricer math a zl1 should take me by a car or two then. Not bad for a stock camaro.
