And no, white isn't the fastest color! Just heading that silly claim off right now! Heh, as if...

When I saw the numbers on ths thing I said it's basically a CTS-V. A capable street car, but far too heavy to make a good track car, coupled with the inherent cooling issues of boosted motors. It would be fun to find out though ;DSVT1 said:I love this video.
The GM camp continues to pound their chests saying how much faster the ZL1 is than a 2013 GT500 on a road course (based on what...who knows). In reality, we will need to see one on an actual road course to know, which will be a rare sight.
The car is too heavy and has a poor intercoolong system. They are fairly easy prey for a tuned Boss on the street, which tells me on a road course, after 1-2 laps, they will be tire screeching, brake cooking, heat soaked bottom feeders, fairly easily dispatched by regular street Bosses.
The 2013 ought to smoke the Boss and the ZL1 consistently on a road course, as they have really sorted out the heat soak and put some good brakes and rubber under that thing.
All speculation other than the ZL1 being slower than a tuned, bolt on Boss, lol. 580 HP? Really? Really??? Lol. More like 450 in the rear world of poor DA and heat soak.
