That is some quickness right there. Better be quick with that much power. Question I have is what kind of EPA dests did they put it up against. I can't imagine passing on full throttle for 5 whole minutes.

Code: Select all

the GM development team made some efforts to ensure the car remained scrupulously stock. Though it featured a bar to locate a seatbelt harness, there was no roll cage to reinforce chassis rigidity. The ride height and chassis alignment were stock, the emissions gear met EPA standards and there was pump gas in the tank.
This is what I like to see. I hate looking at great numbers, whether they are track times or dyno plots and then someone comes out and says "oh yeah it was on C16." I can only hope they are not lying.

I wouldn't be shocked if you could take a Z51 to that level for less.
