You can present any data that proves im wrong?
100% stock GT500s are running 10.6 to 10.9 in the quarter mile.

ZL1s are low 11 second cars on a really good day.

I'm not sure I would give them a low 11 second time on a good day. Very few have run lo

Your being generous to the ZL1. In 3+ years of production the Camaro6 website shows only 4 cars running low 11s or better. The vast majority are in the 11:40s - 11:70s.

Yes I know, but I’m trying to be reasonable.
I quoted the best times for the GT500 and was doing the same for the ZL1

Both are great cars but the GT500 is faster.

if it counts on different tracks and different dates, would you accept to compare VIR lap time from the zl1 1le on the lighting lap, to the VIR test that MT did with the c8 and the gt500?
Yes. You have to take into account different weather and drivers but you can certainly compare it.

Edmunds really should have tried the drag race using manual mode vs launch control. Pretty big delay with launch control, I bet they could have easily shaved some time off. I have found in most of my cars that have launch control, that I can usually launch the car faster myself.

So going by the data we can conclude that the GT500 will post faster 1/4 mile times on prepped surface, that on unprepared surface will need enough space to catch up to the zl1 (I dont think streets of willow had enough space to run a full 1/4 mile and brake ), and that on VIR and Streets of Willow the GT500 will get killed on lap times vs the zl1 1le.

I posted this exact same video a few posts above for mJolnir's viewing pleasure and he kindly ignored it. :cwl:

And yes, the 500 took them both to an all you can eat buffet at Gapplebees.
