There is no way the ZL1 will dyno 560rwhp and 520 rwtq. I'm guessing more around 510 rwhp and 495 rwtq.
.
392 SRT8 Challys are running about 4-6mph slower with maybe 420rwhp and weigh about the same as the zl1. so im gonna guess the zl1 will be putting down 470-480rwhp.

the 107mph was an outlier, so i used the 113mph, his best run. And it definately isnt the same as missing a shift and coasting. If the lowest MPH is considered an outlier then perhaps the top MPH should also, which in the end would even out. Im not interested in the absolute best of the best runs ever. I already stated that, especially since all those seem to happen at the "fast" tracks anyways. Im more interested in what to realistically expect from one when you see one on the street or the track.
