I wonder why the ZR-1 doesn't gain any more than that 0.1 sec past 60 in the quarter. I know the mph is faster, but not sure why it doesn't pull away, timewise.

The Z06 does the 1/4 mile in 11.0-11.4 with a good driver. Depending on conditions, I'd assume this car will sneak into the 10's. 130.5mph is an amazing trap speed, definetly potential for mid to high 10s.
