With all that aero I’m 100% sure it was built for the track. Not saying it’s bad in a straight line. Just saying that’s not it’s intention.

She went a 7.24 and I went 7.22. She got me on the tree and we ran on a pro tree. I've trained my own assassin. Lol She normally runs 7teens and that run was the very first time going WOT on the ZR1. My second pass was a 6.80 and that was on the Cup2 tires. I'm almost positive it will run mid 6's or slightly better with my drag radials that are usually on my 16 Z06. It goes 6 teens.

I don't track my cars, but enjoy the off the line response, traffic light to traffic light. This is where I (and I assume most owners) spend the majority of time. Torque will always win this daily driving "race", so that will be the Tesla all day. If I ever do get into the track life, there's no doubt in my mind that a Z06 will out race the Teslas.

On the road course, yes. At the strip that first 660 feet is tough to get out on a P100D, but come around in the 1/4 mile.
The traffic light contests are the most fun in the Tesla.

I raced one in my CTSV on the 3 mile curvy road to my house. It was a complete joke. I was just standing on the brakes. It was like racing a 1955 cadillac. Those things are total pigs. They're good at one thing and that's getting off the line quick. Race one from 60 and it's over. They're slow from anything over 60.
