Thanks for posting the scans!
He may have ran out of room plus I just noticed that C/D is their "ESTIMATED TOP END"

Dunno...
He maxed out at 173 and said it wouldn't pull in 6th gear. I remember his video showing boost after he shifted and you could plainly hear the engine laboring and speeds just maintaining or maybe even still falling. It was a late shift to 6th, but still not sure that it would make any difference.

If their speeds are estimates, I wonder how they came up with their numbers for 8th, 9th, and 10th gears. Do they know the drag coefficient and rolling resistance to calculate them, or maybe that's where they are guessing?

Interior is quieter than 1LE.. interdasting.. wonder if there's more sound deadening or its just from the intake sound tube.

Not sure. They did do the 0-60 tho and got better @ 3.4 seconds ...

What did you expect?? The heavier ZL1 on smaller/less sticky tires to be as fast as the Z06? These results are still very good, for a well rounded track car it's still faster than the Hell Kitty in the 1/4 and only half a second off the Z06.

If you're talking about the Mega thing, apparently it doesn't support mobile browsers. Gonna have to check it out when I get to work.

Doesn't GM advertise 11.4? Believe thats true--was hoping for an "under promise/over deliver...which was their philosophy for the 5th gen ZL1....especially with the "vaunted" 10 speed...

How is 11:50s faster than 11:00s?

Just as an FYI, stock C7 Z06s on factory tires can run well down into the 10s. Trap MPH is a better metric for comparison especially when you are on street tires.
