Following that even ZL1 with dragpacks couldn't duplicate those times.

Not for nothin, but Evans is testing the GT500 privately at a track. So there is no way to tell if he is lying or hiding mods either. Especially when he is known to modify cars in a certain manner and call it "stock". He is not on the same level as MT or C&D. So don't try to paint him as such. The statement made was that Evans run is more closely compared to the fast lists since he is not an official reviewing source either.
But I will give you this, I am willing to count Evans run as official IF and only IF someone tests both cars on the same track and same day. The results from same day same track testing stands as to what the difference is between them as opposed to what Evans runs on his private track compared to mag runs. But I'm betting you wanna count Evans special and compare it to whatever MT gets from the C8 and ZL1...that way you can be happy and claim the GT500 runs a 10.6 to the C8's and the ZL1's 11.7 or 11.5 or whatever you claim they struggled to get out of the ZL1...
