Again, these times are consistent with the current ones that add the 305s. Makes sense. So, back to what I wanted to know. The ZL1 traps the same speed as a Hellcat, so why doesn't it get less than low 11s? The ZL1 has the rubber in the rear. Is it the number of gears, hence the number of shifts, or is it th torque management that is holding it back a bit? Again, I'm on these forums because I love the new ZL1, and kind of shopping around. Thanks guys.

I am thinking gearing (A10s have a 2.85 rear gear) and the TQ management. Watching some of the videos of the Vengeance Racing and RPM Motorsports runs, the cars don't 60' like some of the 9 second cars I have seen. They just seem really soft.
