Re: Stock 1/4 Mile performance of ZL-1 or COPO
Hey Guys, I found a Car Review Magazine from 1986 that tested 3 ZL-1's
Dick Harrell tested 2--adding headers and slicks to an automatic he turned an 11:85 at 119.06 with a full exhaust system. Uncapping the headers dropped the figures to 11:64 at 122.15.
The other Zl-1 received the Super Stock Race Treatment (engine remaining untouched internally) and managed a 10:29 at 132.05.
The 3rd Zl-1 (My car) then owned by Mr. Rusty Symmes during Car Review's Magazine Supercar Showdown, June 20-21, 1986 at Bowling Green, Kentucky's Beech Bend International Raceway, he slapped on a pair of slicks and ran through the quarter in 12:76 at 107.65.
Before that pass many in the crowd looked upon Rusty Symmes car as just another camaro, after the run they became educated joining the enlightened few who know full well the signifance of the RPO code "ZL-1"
