The 750HP suersnake (750HP) in the June 2011 Road & Track magazine ran an 11.7 on " a drag strip freshly coated with traction compound in cool weather" at Shelby's factory visit...now, the Ford guys are trying to tell me the GT500 550HP 2012 will match that equally equipped? If that's so, you don't get much for $34000 in a Supersnake, or you get quite a bargain in a GT500.

I have said all along I expect the ZL1 to run high 11s. the ZL1 and the 2011-2012 GT500 have nearly identical power to weight ratios.
If you want to get close to seeing what the Super Snake was capable of you have to read this:

10.8s at 134mph is moving. And not something a ZL1 will even come close to touching with just tires.
and that was a 725 hp version. you aren't going to see anywhere near the potential of a 700 hp car on non dr or better tires.
