As I have stated before the 750BHP GT500 super snake ran a 0-60 in 4.0 seconds (during a same day test) where a 650BHP Camaro ran a 0-60 in 3.7 seconds.
The Mustang just runs into the problem where it really has a hard time putting the power to the ground. Something that the Camaro does exceptionally well and at these power levels its going to come down to that. The more power the faster you have to drive before you can put the power down. This GT500 will likely smoke the ZL1 on the freeway where you are already rolling at some speed however from a stand still I would bet on the ZL1 shining.
Also on the drag strip it may even play into that as well and on a road course still might favor the ZL1 as well. What we do know about the ZL1 is that it is setup to do every performance parameter really well. With 1.0G on the skid pad that is impressive that would put in in Boss 302 territory (.98G in Motor Trend test). For a heavy car that "can't handle" it sure showing other wise just as I predicted give it a few years as they learn how to tune this car.
My bet is that the ZL1 in the hands of tester will get as follows.
0-60: 3.7
1/4mile: 11.8
