Agree on C8 winning 0-60 time, but do not agree that it wins the quarter mile. Checking the respective fast lists for cars claimed to be bone stock finds the ZL1 with a 10.94 and the C8 with a 10.96, note that trap speeds are higher for the ZL1. Seems to me the mid engine gives the C8 the advantage at the hit, then the superior hp of the ZL1 chases it down and catches it by the stripe. The actual faster, namely top speed, I do think that an A10 ZL1 would leave a C8 behind in that test.
