i ran 11.5 with just intake 2.55 upper pulley and drag radials on mine with an automatic transmission

Went to 510 Engineerings site and the 800hp upgrade for the ZL1 is $15,000 for only 692 wheel hp. With $15,000 I'd go to Hennessey or do it myself before Id spend that much for just 692 whp

Great tune. Dies right at the light 👌👌

Nice comment and explanation about the car and the parts. I like it. Good Video

The gentleman explaining seems very professional..Seems like a great kit

Chevy Has Created A Monster!

You get the smart award today.

i own one and i have no visibility issues.i like the closed in feel it gives you.

just came from that gold zl1 video..glad to see a real Camaro here again

CONGRATULATIONS!!

You're not lying about the visibility. That & the interior were the reason I went with the Challenger instead.

Love the G8 GXP with Camaro rims in the background. I have one in red

You hit that right on the head! I am NOT a ford fan by any means but the ZL1's and ZR1's are specifically designed for top-performance cornering capabilities. They are used in many different road course series', just to name two off the top Continental Tire Challenge (ZL1) and Rolex Racing Series (ZR1). Their times on the tracks are fenominal! With a ZR1 at Laguna Seca you can have the same times as a 500k car for about 1 1/2k. These aren't built for straights...can't resist sometimes tho :)

07 gt convertible 4000lbs with me driving, 26" e/t streets ,stock motor, w/ cams, whipple at 11 lbs. wayyyy detuned @ 11.2 afr commanded. built suspension and chassis. just ran 11.19 last weekend

The new ZL1 gives me hope in the camaros.

Sounds wicked, I expected it to be in the 10s though with that much power on tap.

those are some CRAZY 4 to 1 headers!

White G8 in the background with Camaro SS wheels! Awesome :D

Awesome upgrade

This car is awesome

that's great! I never said you couldn't make IRS work, nor did I talk about the corvette... oh nice bimmer btw, I'm so glad I got rid of my 540i M-sport

What about the rear end and the transmission..? Any modifications necessary?

Guys its a 10sec car with the MPH alone! Great sounding car!

for a 54k stock zl1 and a 11second 1/4 time, you would think that supercharger upgrade would bring it to at least 10?

They should stop letting people comment on car videos. There are way too many uneducated trolls out there with no cars trying to talk shit. A fast car is a fast car and can always be made faster. Grow up guys. Good job on the build and nice mph on the big end.

what octane gas where you using in the video ?

I love mine and I have no Visibility issues.....GM did Great with this car .......took on the Nürburgring nicely very good time......it shows the engineering put into this .......

Just out of curiosity, what car is in the back ground when they are talking about the camaro. It looks like a Australian Holden Commodore from the side, anyone know what type of car it is?

Is that 800 crank or to the wheels?

Not bad. Modified '13 Shelby's run in the 9's though still running a 6-spd

You read your first book! good for you. check the vette?

what is the 60ft i have a Manual 6 same HP i trap 127 with a 2. 60ft

I'm no Chevy guy, but the ZL1 was "babied" off the line and the near 129mph speed speaks volumes about the HP it's truly making.

The stock Zl1 is nice but this is freaking awesome!!

A stock one does 11.4 so whats the gain?

hows the trans holding up???

how much is the upgrade?

ya this was when mods were new.... they didn't put boost up as much as they could, they didn't change tires... wheels to a drag spec cause with that power which should be way more it would make a big difference. def 9 second car with 730ish whp. I spent 6k into my zl1 and made 823whp and its still Bolton and ported. no spray and I hit 9.5 on track

yup a good launch and you do have alot of control over a vehical with a manual . Plus a 6spd is alot more fun either way

how do i make my 300 horse mustang shoot flames out the exhaust like that?

nice tig welds

It sure takes a lot of power to move heavy ass, huge car.

what is the specs on that cam?

nice explanation...

5:46 man look the frames ı love it

what a Beast LOVE IT

gt500 nurburging times are in and its 4 sec behind the crapmaro, camaro is going alpha platform soon since the zeta platform is too heavy should be around 3400 ibs, 2014 z28 will be released the ss will recieve the ls7 z06 motor 505 hp to compete with the hemi 392 challenger srt8 which is destroying both 5.0 and SS. These guys are stepping it up!!

i have seen 350z run 11.4 with a shot of nitrous with stock internals and no tune very sexy car tho dont know if the money diff is worth it,

What's the price tag for such a conversion?

it dosnt matter the power you have it matters if you can put that power to the track and a goodriver

Im not referring to the gt500 vs zl1 battle man, im speaking in general for all of gm's muscle cars... I know most of chevrolet's engines are lighter than ford's in each class, thats the beauty of pushrod power compared to overhead cams lol I watched the video you recommended... and i must say I can't help but imagine if that 4250lb beast went on a healthy diet what it would then run??? NIce recommendation, thanks.

It does look like a white Pontiac G8 and a blue 1990's Camaro in the background. :-)

Mona Lisa of muscle!

with headers pulleys and a tune mid tens

What color is that Camaro?

What tires? Im pretty sure not drag radials on a 20" rim. Plus this a fully loaded street car..

holly shyt!!!! sounds so amazing! dear santa :)

how much boost?

Something like that lol; thanks for the good humor

those flames were sexy

When talking about drag racing, an automatic is the way to go. You'll hook up better from the holeshot, you'll never miss a shift, and 9 times out of 10 the automatic will shift faster. All that being said, all I buy is manual cars because I love road racing. Also, the overall control you can achieve from a manual transmission.

I would have to agree. It didn't come off the line strong, makes me wonder if they had traction control set to the highest level, because it didn't even squeak the tires. I'd like to also mention to the trash talkers that this car isn't set up to drag race, the video is entirely about the motor, nothing in there about suspension setup for the 1/4 mile, so 11's is pretty good all things considered.

one of the thing that makes the Shelby mustang gt500 the best is it has its own power train, its not some mutant like the zl1 is (its a cts v with a camaro body)

Yep, for one dyno pull if that! Up the displacement, forge the entire bottom end, and shoot plenty of methanol and the engine usually survives at 1000 rwhp..

Are you here with your buddy Randy over here?

totally agree.

all this for 11.4 only ?

392 Hemi Challenger is look it up and research it is a beast! Im not a dodge guy I own two vettes and a Camaro with an ls6 swap ad I give then new 392Hemi respect!

stock tires...?

Nice!

personally i would opt for SLP's stage 3 kit, as SLP and GM have been partners since the 90's. that's just me though.

street tires and i do believe the traction control an stability control was on it didnt start puttin the power down till half track so slicks and use the launch control so 10s would be no problem

His reaction time, and limited traction= 11.4. That car is good for 10's with a better reaction launch and stickier tires.

wow this is a dream comes true! love this sound!

Holy fuck that looks awesome! :D

so true sir

That's one of those things most people never measure. 60ft? Now, that's a different story. Personally, I like to see street cars in full street form (daily tires, daily weight, daily fuel, etc) go down the 1/4, so 2 thumbs up for that video.

i def thought this car would be faster, my friend has a GT/CS 630 turbo hp in the high 9s, traction issues maybe?

haha so true i need to put more videos of my camaro and TBSS that i just got back from a brand new engine and other goodies put back on it

Don't forget, this is with street tires, thus the slow start, likely intentional to prevent wheel spin. My car, chich has similar weight and 200hp less, at the same track, would just sit and spin on an aggressive launch on street tires.

I have one lol fox body! but if i had to buy a new one id most likely go with the new mustang because its lighter, live axle(for now), real responsive to mods

thts tight

from the fact that i outrun stock 2011 GT Mustangs -412hp- in my 1992 Buick Roadmaster -190hp- (from a dead stop) and its also stock i seriously doubt it, plus if we are talking about comp cars, how about the new COPO Camaro, or the DragPak Challenger, a damn V10

Sweet

That's cool, we all care about your opinion.

is that blue bear ?

0-60??

There is a Camaro SS (street legal car) running mid 8's soon to be low 8's maybe high 7's on independent rear suspension and it weighs 4150 lbs. I'd say that is a hell of a car. Nothing that weighs that much is running anything close to that time, and the owner has put NO money into saving weight, it has a full interior full roll cage. With fibre glass/Carbon fiber panels and an interior trim up the car could weigh the same as any other stripped car.

yes thats correct

they have a red ls1 camaro on youtube running a 12.6 in the 1/4 with slicks alone... the rear end's wont hold up to much abuse like that though lol

And if it is, that's the commodores brother

sweet

Thats not a camaro thats a fire breathing dragon

I road race my car with a built 4L65E all the time. Then again its built to where I can manually shift and hold a gear at any rpm.

It's funny mustang owners are oblivious to the fact that the recent camaro's have handled better and looked better than mustangs. 2015 camaro is almost completely redesigned

Thumbs up for flames! :)

Rated at Crank Horsepower. On a engine dyno it would produce 800hp but with drivetrain loss its 692rwhp.

i know what you mean man but there are so many more people who would take the camaro to the drag strip instead of taking one to a track ya know... and honeslty IMO i don't think there will be a day when the v8 cars disappear... they make as good if not better gas mileage than alot of 4 cylinders and v6 cars back in the day with the way technology is going, just my 2-bits

Cobalt Blue Metallic C5 Z06 in the far bay.

I for one am glad the mustang will finally have IRS, it is not that much heavier than a live rear axle and by 2015/2016 both the Camaro and Mustang will have it lightened quite a bit (not just the IRS but the cars also). Most of these cars will not see the drag strip or a road course, Most of them are just daily driven and for that IRS is far better to live with on a daily basis. A solid rear axle is only good for somebody who is going to die hard drag race their car, not worth it otherwise.
