Now these are mostly American cars and most range 80s+, but the classics are in there (69 ZL-1 Camaro: 11.68) along with some Foreign.

0-60 is an antiquated metric.

12/31/2011 7:20:07 PM

^ + the list is a few years old... it even says it is not being maintained anymore.

but i guess for the classics it is good, as you said.

i would like to see a list for 0-100, 0-150, and 0-200 mph. or 0-200, 0-250, and 0-300 kph.

1/4 mile would be nice, I heard the sc cobras ran high tens stock.

1/1/2012 7:41:32 AM

it is 1/4 mile

I smoked too much the time I made this, title should say 1/4 Mile, not 0-60.




However anyone with car sense would know this since right under I say (69 ZL-1 Camaro 11.68), haha if you think a 69 ZL-1 takes 11.68 to hit 60mph you are a lost cause any way.

Do you really think it ran a 11.68 quarter mile in stock form?

well it does have a source:

"(Book:Ultimate Performance Cars '05)"

one of the very few and yes I think a car worth over $600k now could easily run a high eleven with minimal changes. It was a race car that was sold to the public

Quote :

"The entire car carried the full 5-year/50,000-mile warranty and was fully street-legal. With the factory's stock dual exhausts and tires, it turned low 13s; headers, slicks, and tuning got it into the 11.6s at 122 mph. Chevy never built a quicker production car."

The damn all aluminum 427 weighed the same amount of lbs as the HP it put out. These are step ups over the Yenko Camaro, nothing was in the same category as the ZL-1. The ZL-1 beat the Corvette (L88) of the same year.

"The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Specifications Wheelbase, inches: 108.1 Weight, lbs: 3,300 Number built: 69 Base price: $7,200 Standard Engine Type: ohv V-8 Displacement, cid: 427 Fuel system: 1 x 4bbl.

5.3 from factory w/ 3300lbs of car

1/1/2012 4:55:54 PM

^^you know that means NOT stock

1/1/2012 7:02:30 PM

Actually headers came in the trunk decent tires doesnt mean slicks and tweaking the carb jetting isn't really tuning as much as it is compensating for conditions

Decent tires make a big difference in 1/4 mile on any car with that much power and a 427 needs room to breathe. They didn't have to buy headers and cat back, all you have to do to it is take off the exhaust manifolds and leave the stock exhaust hanging (I've seen it done). So you spend around $400 for rear slicks (~$600k car) and remove manifolds and I would bet money the car would be in the low 12s if not high 11s on those two changes. However anyone with a ZL-1 is not going to drop the manifolds to save money, haha.

EHH AN L-88 IS "CLOSE ENOUGH"

sure it was a little more but all the power is still there.

People see a Vette and know it is a Vette, you see a 69 ZL-1 and there is very little to tell you what it is past a SS (by the sound of the motor), but you don't see any badges... The wheels are less noticeable than the RS wheels. This factory sleeper car feel is something that is highly sought after, especially if left untouched, through out muscle cars.

99% of Yenko or especially ZL-1 Camaros are COPO fakes at best.
