To clarify I said "low" 11s... Zl1 could make most cars want to park if it was on a road course...which is what it is built for.

Lol ok missed that. I'd be impressed with consistent low 11s personally whether on DR or otherwise.

I've only seen the one dyno run that fell off on the last runs. The car was said to have been drove to the shop and put straight on the dyno with no cool down. The car hadn't been broken in yet. Seems like it had around 300 miles on it and I'm pretty sure there wasn't even a fan used during the pulls. I think that was ZL1 Tommy's car, so he can correct me or verify if it was.

There is no sign of any heat issues that cause timing to be pulled. Motor Trend did a Facebook live thrashing of an A10 where they made like 20 some 1/4 mile runs all back to back with no cool down and they said there was no sign of any overheating or timing being pulled. Cal has also done something similar himself and posted his results on here. He had a pretty wide range of speeds due to various reasons, but none seem to be related to heat, as some of his higher mph runs were toward the end. Pretty sure we are safe from any timing or heat issues with the Camaro. One of the biggest problems with the Vette is the small frontal area that couldn't get enough airflow into the coolers. The Camaro has way more grille opening, plus additional coolers and redesigned supercharger lid and heat exchangers inside of it.

Same with the Demon too. Dealers are going to be marking those up just like the Hellcats. I'd say 6 figure Demons also.

Chevy will come out with more power but it won't be in the Camaro.

Even if team Camaro wanted more power, they wouldn't get it. The glass ceiling keeps the Camaro in its place.

That's exactly how I ran my 2 best times at the track, except I was launching around 1200 to 1300. Didn't get to try launch control because I had already dropped my tire pressures and apparently the PTM options are disabled if the tire pressure light is on. Next time I go back, I plan on setting pressures to the recommended 26 and trying out launch control before I drop air pressure to see which way hooks the best.
