True but, my point being on a road course it will need to hit the higher RPM to used that power — where the zl1 1le and the ‘Clydesdale’ torque available won’t be very different — thus the 400-500 lbs difference in weight will show up... on long straights that rpm/hp will help — thus I’m betting we’ll see more 1/4 times vs road course track times. I may be wrong so, we’ll see...
