The 13 GT500 has trapped as high as 129 during testing.

Give Evan or a good driver a 13 Shelby that hasn't just been heat soaked to death with 30+ passes, and allowed to drive the car without the LC, mid to low 11's would be the norm... Look at those trap speeds for crying out loud... Mid to high 120's, for a bone stock car, is moving the f&ck out...
Look how much faster the ZL1 is without LC at the strip. Makes a big difference...
Also @
newmoon, all this talk about mph IS a big deal, and not just as you say "talk".
It's an indication of the HP to weight (which is incredible) and the amount of power this thing is putting to the ground. Which is a sh!t ton... Like more power to the wheels than the Z has at the crank kinda power.
You know what else a car with that kinda MPH means? Don't F%CK with it from a roll on the highway unless you want to be videotaped being raped by bus-lengths in your Z...
