YouTube That was fast - 6th gen ZL1 in the 9s

[Mook]

With just 60 miles on the odometer and the original gasoline from the dealership, RPM Motorsports of North Carolina decided its ZL1 was ready to be modified for the drag strip. Gone are the high-performance street tires, and in its place sit full-on drag radials. Additionally, the performance shop has fitted a a nitrous kit for even more outright power.

Thanks to a tune and that fast-shifting 10-speed automatic, the white ZL1 is able to put down a fairly absurd 9.98-second quarter-mile time at 140 mph. That's a second and a half quicker than the stock time of 11.4 seconds at 127 mph.

So effortless, I feel like those 20 speed transmissions are slowing those cars down.

Also, why only sometimes I can go full screen view with an embed and sometimes it won't let me?

This car makes me think dodge better price the demon in the low 60s lol. Best all around performance value going. Chevy did great.

LS motors are the best, until they blow up...
Wait, Wut

Plus it turns and brakes. This is one of the best performance bargains on the market. Ford better release the GT500 soon!

"Here’s the part Chevrolet doesn’t want me to say: In the Z06, the LT4 has cooling issues. The mighty Corvette’s heart heat soaks or overheats. Remember those 11 heat exchangers I was talking about? The Camaro ZL1 will not overheat. I tried, but even after six sets of rear tires in four days—not joking—the thunderous V-8 never so much as simmered. Two of those 11 heat exchangers are actually the intercoolers that straddle the supercharger. They are redesigned and repositioned for ZL1 duty."

I thought they did come out with a fix for the cooling issues and it had more to do with the hood and vent placements etc? Maybe I'm wrong

So far, speculation and high hopes with the 17'changes. ZL1 for sure won't have 8sp. Auto problems and torque tube problems that also plague the c7z. Here's hoping this zl delivers!!

Yes, I know. Thats why I said it won't have the a8 problems the z06 has. I hope the ford/gm 10 sp turns out well.
