They make 550 HP Crank.
The BEST ZL1 time and 2010-2011/12 GT500 times are within 2-3 tenths of each other. Yet you think that is going to be 5-6+ car lengths?
Have you ever run at a track? When I ran against a 10.8 Foxbody that was setup for ET's, I ran a 12.4 @ 117 in 100+ degrees, bogging and missing 4th/shutting down @ the 1000 mark. He trapped 124, and ran 1.6 seconds faster. He was MAYBE 5-6 cars ahead of me, and not pulling once I started going.
I posted links of guys running sub 12's on the stock Rubber. Not 11's, but close enough.
Also, why are you comparing the Average GT500 times vs the best ZL1 time that "apparently" ran 11's, yet you have provided no link, timeslip or video of this acclaimed 11 second run. Some guy from a magazing posted on the internet stating he ran a high 11 on a certain day. That doesn't hold much ground and has little credibility.

Edmund's Insideline dynoed a 2010 GT500 and this is what they found:
"As you can see, our 2010 GT500 tester produced a peak of 511 horsepower at the wheels right at redline. That figure represents what is left over after the drivetrain has bled away some of the engine's power."
"In short, Ford's claim of 540 horsepower at the flywheel is conservative. This mill is comfortably cranking out something north of 570 horsepower on the possum urine they call California 91 octane "premium" fuel. That's no small feat. "

You can read it yourself, if you want.
No, there wasn't a "link" to the ZL! running 11 second times, but there is a video on C5 where the Motor Trend driver of the ZL1 says he ran sub 12 second runs...straight from the horses mouth.

What does this mean? You never posted anything showing a GT500 running sub 12s, even thought that's what your post says?????????
