2002 ZL1
Last week I drove my new Phase III ZL1 (#34) from GMMGs in Marietta, GA to my home in upstate New York - a distance of 950 miles. The car was phenominal. It took 1 quart of oil and averaged 24.7mpg!!! The engine and tranny were great, but the most pleasant surprise was the handling and agility. This car has it all and it looks good too - silver with red stripes and red & black houndstooth interior. Please let me know how it compares with yours performance-wise and if there any "bugs" I should look for. Mike<font color="blue"> </font>

Re: 2002 ZL1

Re: 2002 ZL1
I have had the GREAT OPPORTUNITY of driving a couple different Phase III 427 ZL-1's and the thing that most impresses me is going 60 MPH in 4th gear and putting your foot into it and the car LIFTING and setting you back in your seat.The suspension is really dialed in also.

Re: 2002 ZL1
Check engine light is the 1 problem I'm having. I have put a couple of quarts in her already.
The other is losing to a 99z28 spraying 150 shot. But at least I look good doing it. http://pensacolastreetracing.com/VIDEOS/Z28vsZL1.mpg Mike you got any pics. That is an unusual color combo.

Re: 2002 ZL1
The difference is if you both would have kept going he couldn't have kept up with the NOS forever and your Car would have just kept pulling. You just let off too soon. You can always add NOS.

Re: 2002 ZL1
That video was awesome. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] Those 99 Z-28s are pretty quick! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] I wish mine would run like that. As for the oil consumption, I have found out on the CamaroZ28.com message boards(ls1 tech) that the 98-99 LS-1s were worse about oil consumption than the 00-02s because in the new ones they used LS6 rings. What type of rings did they use in the ZL1s? What type of exhaust system is on the ZL1? Is it the the chambered type that gmmg makes with longtube headers? Because it sounds a lot better than the flowmaster american thunder system on my car!

Re: 2002 ZL1
it actually was in 6th gear, but, alot of throttle left. if you fly in from chicago we can fly for 12 more miles not to exceed 255 miles as which are on the other #13 69 ZL1 camaro about to come out of the resto shop and be ready for th reunion! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/
