I realized that later, but it said "a DR" instead of "DR's". Small difference, but it made it harder for me to guess.

3.2 and 11.3 are the numbers that some of the reviewers recorded for the C7 Z06. I wouldn't be surprised if someone gets 127 or 128 MPH in good air this spring at a sea level track. This is seriously fast car indeed.

Was thinking the same thing. This is on the bumper of the Z06. Not my Z06, but a stock Z06 non the less. haha.

Not that it matters. I ran into a stock Zl1 and dusted it about 2 weeks ago. Which means nothing cus I'm not stock, but I did expect a closer race. I'm only 740 at the wheels. Plus, I'm A8, so I'm sure that helped. But anyhow, yea, these numbers are sick.

Wow, 740 at the wheel is strong. Are you Procharged? I recently sold my '16 Z06 but was thinking of going that route.

Exactly.

What is the price of that Tesla any & does it handle?? Just curious...good gravy mid 2's is crazy fast & never would have guessed an electric could do such numbers. I always think of a rice burning looking car when electric is mentioned

Gotta wonder what it would do at Nurburgring...I know nothing about the car beyond the insane take off speeds.

I dont think its capable of making a full lap at the 'ring as the batteries would overheat.
Also, did I miss the part where it said whether they drove an A10 or 6 Speed at the drag strip? Im assuming they used an A10 at the times they posted are the fastest they could get out of a ZL1. I wouldnt assume it was a 6 Speed and that an A10 will post fatser times..maybe Im wrong.....

What I can't figure out is why the Zl1 weighs 3933. My SS with a Maggie heart beat, A8, 20" heavy aftermarket wheels only weighs 3740 with a 1/4 tank of fuel. Where the hell is the 200 lbs coming from?

I remember reading somewhere that the eLSD is a lot heavier then the SS rear. Don't know about 200 hundred pounds but significantly heavier!!

I guess but people were mentioning mustangs and hellcats, ruling the streets etc.

The Tesla is a 10.5 second/125 mph car without drag radials. Sure it doesn't do the 'Ring, but it's likely none of us will either.

I recall a 70lbs delta of the eLSD, though I don't recall where I read that.
