Im thoroughly shocked at the time i guessed somewhere in the 19's

If you look at the equipment used on the ZL1 1LE...very little of it was applicable to the regular ZL1. Which is intended to be a street car that can excel on the track. DOT-R comp tires...Carbon Fiber Wing....expensive, and very stiff DSSV dampers...
The ZL1 1LE is a race car that can be used on the street...so they could get away with more. I think what this speaks to is that the standard ZL1 is an incredible foundation to build on. Think of it - they didn't touch the powertrain or brakes!

Does anybody know anything at all about whether TC or stability control was completely disabled in either the A10 or 1LE run? Or was "on" at least loosely in both but with a slightly more restrictive calibration in the A10 car?
It's a truly remarkable achievement. Wish we could know more about the setup.

I would wager a guess that the systems were in Sport II, or Race Mode in the A10...they seemed "all off" in the ZL1 1LE video.
