It got great handling, but straight line speed is a little lacking. The ZL1 should strike fear when you see it on the street, but it's not.
Because a PRO track driver is not the same as a PRO drag race driver. When I see a run by someone like Evan Smith run only a low-12, then I might find some disappointment (and not even that much, honestly), but until then, and until I know the conditions the test was under, I will reserve judgment. I wouldn't say it's straight line acceleration is lacking in any way either.
