This begs the question...How the fuck did chevy add 120hp to the 2019 ZR1 and only pick up 2mph in trap speed? Chevy horsies must be a little smaller than regular horses
Well C6G does have a fast list for the ZL1 and looking at that it's still getting its ass kicked 3 yrs in by a car that hasn't even been released yet.
Then you can stop talking about here runs because you haven't seen one yet.
I don’t know what to tell you if you don’t think Evans run is not a hero run. Maybe your definition is different then mine and most others.
Naw its not a hero run. That's just what good drag racers do. They work at it. You dont take a ZL1 to a track. Run it to a 11.9. And then say well other guys did this. That's what Camaro6 bench racers do! Throw Evans time out. If it makes you feel better. Bums at Vegas went 10.8 in the GT500 in 2000+ DA. In hot lapped cars! And only got a couple runs. The car makes everyone a hero. I dont care about Evans runs. Look at the 10.8s in Vegas. Launch control is doing the work. You just push the gas peddle down.
Seems like your the fanboy. Evan said the track was so so at best. Talking to others that drove the car (500), it was easy to drive. But you go ahead and think these bloggers and journalists are drag racers. 10.61 is fast.
You think Evans is just a journalist, he set a 11.83 time in a a10 GT, yet show me where someone has matched it. There were few at the show that got in the 10’s, but most were in low to mid 11’s. Even MT got 11.2.
Actually, I think GM put less controls on testing than Ford did. During the day the press outlets that got the C8 Stingray had a lot of latitude in terms of where they could take it and how they could test it. The biggest restriction was they didn’t get to keep the cars overnight. They had to give them back at the end of the day and then get them back in the morning for another day of whatever they wanted to do with the car, wherever they chose to do it. Within reason, of course.
0-60: Stingray Z51 - 2.8s Base GT500 - 3.3s. Advantage Stingray Z51
Mustang competes against Camaro. No doubt about that. But there should also be little doubt that Shelby has always competed against Corvette. The first Shelby GT350 was created because Ford got sick and tired of Corvette dominating SCCA and worked with Carrol Shelby to create a car that could compete with Corvette.
Thing is, the base C8 isn’t Corvette’s “track car” by any stretch of the imagination. No more than GT350 is supposed to be a drag car. Stingray wasn’t the track car for C7 and it won’t be for C8. The fact that the C8 Stingray came close to the C7 Z06 on one track is testament to how good the C8 is at something it isn’t even supposed to be good at. The C8 Grand Sport and Z06 will be the track stars, not Stingray.
The Z51 C8 is a mid engine 2 seat sports car It may not be the ultimate track verision , but being what it is it does not get the excuse of claiming its not a "track car".
I did not say “it is not a track car” in the same vein as a certain company saying GT PP2 “is not intended for track”. I said it is not Corvette’s track car. ANY Corvette or V8 6th Gen Camaro (including my convertible) is track capable and warrantied for track use. But when Chevrolet tunes Corvettes for the track, the focus is on Grand Sport and Z06, as well as any Camaro with 1LE trim (including 4 and 6 cylinders). There is track capable (my car, C8 Stingray) and track purposed (any 1LE, any ZL1, Grand Sport, and Z06).
