ZS180 beats . . . . .
A ZT260 V8 ! Just come back from the shops and pulled up next to my mate who has a rare 07 plate 260 in black so we decided to do our 1st ever drag ! As the title suggests, i only saw him after that in my mirrors

Yeah, cleanly beat him ! I thought he would pull back against me and slowlyt pass me but no, i just kept clearly pulling away and he wasn't light on his throttle ! What's up with yours for a puny 1.8 Ashtray to beat it - VIS ? Plenum ? BOTH ??!!

Those damn VIS motors. Get it fixed, find one of those strangled V8's and show them how it's done !

I would have thought it'd be close... I think their quarter miles are within about half a sec of each other (?).

Pretty cool though to beat a RWD V8

Yeah, i thought it would be close too but the result being the other way around ! Plus he didn't get any wheel spin. Just goes to show what a few basic mods' can do to a ZS180. I don't think it would have been the same if it was factory spec'.

Yes, that and the announcement of the retrospective tax being scrapped has restored my faith in the old Zed !
