Damn it wouldn't take much for this ZL1 to keep up with that 488 down the straightaways. Maybe a Kong performance milled blower, throttle body, some headers, and a tune. Good for an extra 100 horsepower. And still save $200,000😁

I see a yellow flag at 2:41 and another at 3:10, then you immediately pass three cars. How was this not a pass under yellow flag?

When you're driving at $300,000 Ferrari, there are several considerations that run thru your mind; #1-does the guy behind me know what hes doing? #2- Is that HIS car or a buddies. #3- How much would the repairs be if this guy crashes into me, etc. I drove a 488 GTB, AWESOME car- as is the ZL1....repair costs and depreciation? I can PROMISE you that was running thru the guy''s head all the time you were tailing him. Good inside passes tho, bro! Buck for buck, the ZL1 is perhaps the best deal on the planet- wise choice.

My thoughts as well for the first run - except he did it a subsequent time at open throttle suggesting he was probably telling the driver, you lost, move on.

Great video. Ferrari wasn’t showing hazards. It was braking with track configuration.

don’t know if i saw anyone comment this yet, but the ferrari flashed his hazards at the end of the straight to signal that he “won” that drag race. it’s super common in the drag racing scene. some folk see it as super ghetto. lol

google local track days and you will see local groups as well as national groups like NASA ( national auto sport association) or SCCA . The SS is amazing! So well balanced. You dont need anything to start other than about $180 for the day, helmet (the group will have its requirements but they will not break the bank)$100, plus tire and pad wear. You get 4-5 20 min sessions and when you start you get a free instructor. They will not let you drive alone or take passengers until you move up. Ive done 30 track days in 4 years,#31 coming up!

The SS with the magnetic suspension option handles great. Check out Motor Trends video where they compare it against the M4 (Spoiler alert: The Camaro matches the M4 in every metric, but was easier to control and felt more connected). If you care a lot about handling get the ~$45k (before discounts) SS 1LE which is posting better lap times than supercars that are just one generation old. The SS 1LE even posted a better lap time than the current R8 V10+ on VIR.

Fun. Friend of mine had a C7 Z06 we tracked last year. He made very small stickers of Porsche, Lambo, and Ferrari emblems. Every time we'd get them to buckle and point by, we'd put a sticker up under the left side fender emblem, fighter pilot style, to mark our kills. Ferraris and Lambo drivers always seemed to be pretty unskilled/or just very careful, were slow, and quick to point by. The 911 drivers though...they would fight forever. Nothing a Porsche fanatic hates more than being passed by a Chevy. Enjoy the car. It's a blast. Invest in some Hoosiers...I promise you will never regret it and will really get to feel the car can truly do.

The hazards can be utilized under hard braking by Ferrari and not actually manually activated. However, he doesn’t a second time while under throttle and not braking which would suggest it was manually activated and him telling you, you lost - move on.

Looks like you had fun, but I always like running the correct lines even when I am just stroking the car. I did like the SG Z06's lines consistently even though he was saving brake pads at the end of the drag strip by giving it up at the bridge. I always figured using the bridge as a braking marker would help my pads live 2 x as long as they would if I waited another 100 feet. But then I never ran the race car at Firebird Main, just the track car. Keep the shiny side up and enjoy.

ZR1 would have ran circles round you!😆😉

When the 488 flashed his hazards at you it indicated he bested you in the straight. Flashing of hazards is commonly used in the street racing culture to show who wins in a drag or rolling race on a highway/street to let observers from a distance know who won.

15:20 Mustangs doing Mustang things 😅

I think she swears more then I do hahahaha wow. Great video though. My foot was on and off the imaginary gas peddle with every streight away lol
