The 1993 V6 Camaro ran 16.6 in the 1/4 with 160 horsepower. Shouldn't the 580 horsepower ZL1 be almost 4 times as fast? Why isn't the ZL1 running 4s in the 1/4? Okay, at least 6s. Okay, 9s. OKAY, high 10s. What? Low 12s?

You don't "put down" horsepower. You put down torque. And through gearing changes, the GT500 isn't actually putting down more torque. It pulls longer, not harder.
But you already knew that, didn't you?
