but anyways, i agree stone, i still think a 116 trap seems pretty low for the power. but then again ya never know. they dyno almost 500 at the wheels, and weighing close to 4k lbs(this correct?) i guess it could be right.
Over 4000lbs actually... 4120lbs to be exact.

I agree. I know these are stock numbers, but if im paying 60k...for a camaro, i dont want to run 12s lol. But i know theirs more reason to buy the car other then just 1/4 mile times. I just wouldnt really want to put a whole lot of money into a ZL1, just because of the model.

Id rather buy an ss and dump a little bit of money into it and run 10s...just my opinion.


*Edit - Greddy, what are you trapping?

I just don't get it. You wouldn't try to turn a 350lb chick into an olympic gymnast, so why try to turn +4k lb cars into handlers or straight line cars? Dodge or GM could've dropped 800lbs off there original concepts, made 100 less HP and achieved better results. Ford has the right idea.

Looks like GM was on vacation. Must of been giving Ford 9 years to come up with an engine that could hang with an LS1 or something, IDK

convertible zl1's time didn't seem much better than a stock ss coupe, i think trap was 113 or something? a car with 580 hp like that should be wayyyy higher thru the traps
