We all know what the 5.0 is capable.

I expect to see the ZL1 run the same times as the 2011-2012 GT500s. Even low 11s on a tire.

Did you forget the evidence that the driver said he ran a sub 12 second run in the ZL1? My point, once again, is that the current GT500, often dynoed at 570HP, doesn't run 11s at all. The 750HP suersnake (750HP) in the June 2011 Road & Track magazine ran an 11.7 on " a drag strip freshly coated with traction compound in cool weather" at Shelby's factory visit...now, the Ford guys are trying to tell me the GT500 550HP 2012 will match that equally equipped? If that's so, you don't get much for $34000 in a Supersnake, or you get quite a bargain in a GT500.
