Nine times out of ten down the 1/4 mile I would have my money on Shelby, but its times are not out of this world by any means.

Not a single ZL1 owner, no Camaro tuner, has been able to get sub-11sec on pure 100% stock ZL1. But GM engineers somehow managed to get under 12 on stock tires. I say they are way better drivers than Evan Smith.
Here is what a C5 member posted here today in the thread that got closed.
My best friend Chris Jacobson and I, were there for Chevys behind the scenes at the drag strip. The 11.9x times the engineers got, we're both on fresh Nitto Drag radials, which we both do not know why they did not mention this at the end of there video. Yes, they were stock, but with Nitto DR's. The best times they were seeing on street tires, was mid-12's.
