Im not trying to bash the zl1 im just stating my opinion
I do not think that anyone here is not giving the GT500 credit for being a drag strip car. At the same time it has 662BHP how was it not going to be faster then the 580BHP ZL1 Camaro at the drag strip. For retrospect if the ZL1 Camaro had the 638BHP LS9 engine under its hood it would probably run the same 1/4mile as the 662BHP GT500.

Here is the thing that you are completely missing/ignoring, its harder to make a 4,100 pound car that has 580BHP run VIR in less then 3 minutes while at the same time be easy to drive and tame on the street. You want to get your ZL1 Camaro to 10s in the 1/4mile well some companies have tunes for that.....
