Really?

So far the best time I've see in reviews so far is a 12.1 by Motor Trend. The "less than ideal" track conditions of "dusty & cool" were a 12.3 by Car & Driver. And I won't even mention the horrendous time of 12.6 in the test against the Grand Sport.....and don't forget the terrible conditions giving the even slower 12.9 against the GTR.. If you take the reviews so far the ZL1 averages out to a 12.4 or maybe even a 12.5 in the quarter. I think consistently getting below 12's in the quarter STOCK is a pretty big of a stretch.

Unfortunately I don't think getting below 12's in the quarter is going to be a problem at all for the '13 GT-500. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the goal for it will be consistently hitting mid 11's.
Consistent 12.1 (+/- .2) shouldn't be a problem for the ZL1. The keyword being consistent (and that goes doubly for automatic-equipped cars)...I don't know what the heck is wrong with the magazine reviews...I wonder if some of them even used the LC software...
