In the 1/4 I am faster in my CA6 SS versus my M6 2015 ZL1. To be fair to the ZL1 I had much less seat time in that car.

Your ZL1 is a great rare car. Numbers aren't everything. Look at what vintage Ferrari's sell for. I saw a red ZL1 going down the interstate today. Not an everyday thing.

I had to work hard at being fast in my 13 ZL1. Way to easy to get a poor 60' time with the M6 but once it got rolling it moved out trapping 118-119 mph.

My first gen6 SS A8 pass beat my best every ZL1 pass and it's easy to replicate even running hot laps. Last time out, my wife want to ride with me so I made three passes with her in the car and no wait (open lanes). 12.6 every time just matting the accelerator with the nannies on. I could smell/feel the heat but it didn't affect how it ran. That was the same day I ran my personal best
