To be honest I'm more interested in how a lightened 1LT would do against a 3900+lbs ZL1...
This is the 'secret' goal of my DANCING DRAGON build (to match ZL1 speed everywhere)
Should be a 900+lbs delta between the 2 cars... Is that enough to over come the A10 and eLSD? Given both cars with the same MAX hp and similar tires and suspension setup?
I hope my build gets to the point where everyone here can find out for certain.

Also, leaving the line with a 2 step at 4000+rpm is going to take away most of the advantage the 6.2 would have in the low rpm band...both cars would be leaving the line deep into the fat part of respective torque bands.
All therory and here say on my part though, as I have not raced either of these cars stock or otherwise
This is a great conversation ChrisG33!
