That's true, but if you watch the video or know the track layout, there is a ginormous 1.6-1.7-mile back straight (from ~6:25 to ~7:00 in the clip) where the ZL1 1LE barely makes it to 168-170 mph. A car with more power could easily gain 3-4 seconds just on this straight. The track has other half mile stretches, too, where more horsepower would clearly help. Armchair quarterbacking for sure, but the numbers seem to add up.
