 In the article comparing the ZL1 to the Boss 302, they run a better time on the same track. Now granted, this is a pro driver, but the conditions are still the same. He also seemed a lot more impressed than the editor of this article. "In quarter-mile testing, the Camaro ran through in 12.1 seconds at 117 mph" Read more: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...2_laguna_seca/

0-60 in 3.8 sec and 1/4 mile time of 12.1 sec @ 117 mph on a sandy cold desert track from the Motor Trend test and much better than the 4.1 sec 0-60 and 12.3 sec 1/4 mile times from Car and Driver on the same track.

The frontal section of the Camaro has a lot to do with this also, I remember reading a while ago about the Camaros' in the Rolex and Continental GT series having an issue in standard front end form with reaching top speed at Daytona Speedway on the long straights as compared to the older Pontiac bodies they replaced.

Can't help but notice that the car should be faster if you use the drag times calculator for horsepower 12.1 @ 117 at a weight of 4300 comes in at 508 flywheel horsepower

11.6 at 123 mph is 584 flywheel horsepower I wonder if that is the ideal conditions time
