You know the 60’ has to be pretty impressive as the trap is only 121.

Most (rwd) cars are at least mid to high 120s@basement 11s.

Going to need to administer a serious beat down against the ZL1 variations to justify that kinda coin.

Okay, fine.

A car that handles like the GT350, has 200+ more HP, and an automatic will NEVER beat a ZL1-1LE around a track?

70K Base Auto- 10.6x Beats RedEye
78K Performance Auto Beats 1LE

Take your pick.

12K in a LS-Turbo Fox beats both.
15K in Turbo Miata Beats both.
50K in retirement crashes with stock market.
