Predicting a hero time for 1/4-mile running, imho, would be less important for something akin the so-far-unannounced ZEE than what time it could run @ VIR in Lightening Lap circumstances...which surely would be sub-3:00...

But to "answer" the question: low-to-mid 12s, depending on driver talent...
