Quote: The ZR1 actually gained a couple, I believe the 3300-3400lb range (Z06 31-3200?) with all the additions made to the car to cope with the extra power. But I thought the shorter gearing would've gave the advantage at that speed, correct me if im wrong guys.
Nope, your right. The ZR1 weighs about 200 pounds more then a ZO6. Wait until a GOOD driver gets ahold of a ZR1. I predict 10.80's.

I think these are a little closer to the numbers we all expected, http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...est/index.html

Beat me to it!! Those #'s reflect a much stronger car. A lot closer to what we are going to see at the track.

I did some reading on the CTS-V, and GM's developed a new program that holds boost for a second between shifts as long the driver doesn't lift. That's what they mean by "Power Shifting", which is the name of the program.

Quote: Theres a vid with Heinrecy doing no lift full throttle shifts with the CTSV so maybe thats how GM got the numbers with the ZR1.

Actually, the CTS-V manual version has a no-lift full throttle feature. You just keep your foot into the go-pedal and the car takes car of the rest! Cool stuff.

If that were my dad, I would want to regress a little bit.
