This was well. Take off traction control and hit it, especially on cold, worn OEM tires and an adventure you shall have! I have had many sports cars (including three vets and two Vipers) and many 1000cc Sport bikes (and HPDE track days with all of these) and I almost looped my '18 ZL1 A10 on more than one occasion under hard acceleration.
My current 2020 BMW M5 Competition (with around 720 hp) with AWD has no such drama. The "Adventure" that you speak of is definitely a design feature of the ZL1. That said, the ZL1 is an awesome car (one of my all-time favorites) and was relatively under control under hard acceleration with the nannies on. If they put the LT5 motor in this car I will buy another one to add to the M5C!
