And if they are not equipped with the right tire then they end up being mid to high 11 sec cars like the Hellcat was for the first 2-3 years of it's life without DRs. The GT500 might be in that same boat. Or it might do a low 11. In any case I do think the ZL1 might have a chance to beat it.

Good point here, there is no real-world data available on the GT500's performance yet, so we just don't know. Some people assume from the advertised horsepower that it's really quick. Truth could be different, just like it is with the Hellcat as you mentioned. The FIRST dragstrip pass that I saw from a Camaro ZL1 A10 on the stock tires handily beat EVERY Hellcat time on street tires that I have ever seen here.
