I am running faster lap times lap after lap than they are. These results are much more than just a quarter mile run or a dyno. My car has never been on the dyno. Results differ so much it seems from machine to machine that i don't put much stock into a single number that results from a run. I think dynos are very good for achieving a baseline and then evaluating the effectiveness of mods thereafter.
Your results may have been different than mine. However I also have a C7 Callaway Z06 and I have had the same results with it as well.

I run road courses and run faster than ZLE's every time too! The road course tells you less about your cars power and acceleration than a drag strip or a dyno that's a fact and exactly my point. It's all about driver skill on the road course. The only 6th gen Camaros to finish ahead of me at SCCA TT Nationals were Coby Shield in his 1LE, Ryan Finch in the 1 Lap 1LE monster, and Chris Bickford in a ZLE on Hoosiers. That doesn't make my car faster than all the ZLEs and ZL1s that finished behind me.
I could care less what your friend's butt dyno thinks as that tells you exactly nothing. Pulling on cars coming out of turns is also not a good indicator because minimum speeds will be different with different drivers and the first car is accelerating before the second car is on the gas.
I am asking for a strict CAR VS CAR comparison, hence why I asked for 1/4 mile (1st) or dyno number (2nd) comparisons. Hell a good old no skill roll race is a better indicator of car vs car power/acceleration than a road course.
