Yea except the zl1 is already capable of being a 10.9 car just 3 tenths off of the gt500. Thats the gt500s record run, same as the zl1s best hero run of 10.9. Those 11.4-11.6 numbers for the zl1 are magazine numbers on a street surface where the gt500 is a 11.3-11.5 car. In reality, in good hands the gt500 is a high tens car and the zl1 is a low 11s car when talking about good non hero runs, probably no more than .5 of a difference, another hundred horsepower would probably tie that up for the zl1.
