So my question is, with the bigger supercharger, pushing more boost (15 like the Mustang) would the Zl1 be as fast or faster than the Shelby? Even with its weight penalty?
If you upgrade the blower...you'll need to upgrade the pistons.

If you make significantly more power...you may need to upgrade the clutch, transmission, and prop-shaft...(Fairly certain the diff and half-shafts would survive an A-bomb)...

If you do all THAT and spin the blower a bit faster (remember, you need to pass all your internal tests, as the manufacturer)...ZL1 might be pushing 630-640 hp. At that power level, given it's ability of 11.9 right now...I'd put money on the ZL1 being a tick faster in the quarter.
