Maybe from a dig. But roll racing. Nah. Lol stronger bottom end too. ZL1 with intake, headers, pulley swap and tune. Are making 650+ WHEEL hp 725+ with e85. Can safely handle 800-850whp before major upgrades are needed. The GTR comes with well GTR tax and only making high 500’s with FBO + e85. So I can make more power , safer. For less $ . Sounds like a win win. & well... win. Lol and lastly ZL1 has manual option... another key selling point for me.

I’ll make sure to get some runs in with my 3 GTR buddies and shoot some videos over to you

but.....the gen 5 ZL1 is still just an atrocity.

also, comparing it to a GTR is pointless they're 2 different leagues and it needs all those parts you listed just to take on/down a stock GTR.

while reading your posts i'm strongly questioning your car knowledge.

a GTR with FBO and E85 will put down 650whp+ and be capped through the tune to not bend rods and slip/blow the tranny.

I wiped stank on a couple ZL1s at Wannagofast and I left on traction control and couldn't use high boost. I expected more from them. Not saying a properly tuned , headers ,cam an e85 ZL1 can't be a beast , but on that day........nah.
