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.
You probably can launch a Z06 harder than you can the ZR1, so the ZR1 will have to make up ground after the rears hook up. As you can see by the trap speeds it's pulling like a freight train.
