I can't see it running faster than the Super Snake and since it's in the middle between the base and the Super snake on HP, it looks to me like about a 12 second car or just under depending on traction. I think the ZL1 will give the 2013 GT500 a good run for the money and I think the GT500 can't come close on a road course. Further, it's ugly!
11.7 @ 120 in a Super Snake is like the guy that tested the ZL1 and ran a 13.5 @ 107mph.

Evan Smith has run a 11.95 @ 120+ in a stock 2010 GT500(540hp).

He believes he can run some 11.60s-11.70s with the new GT500(650hp). He said the torque management/launch control system works pretty good. He got to drive one and said they are much easier to launch now.
