Where do you think MotorTrend tested the ZL1 and GT500?

GT500: 0-60, 3.8sec; 1/4mile 11.6 @ 125.7mph; 3871lbs
Failcat: 0-60, 3.7sec; 1/4mile 11.7 @ 125.4mph; 4449lbs automatic
--ZL1: 0-60, 3.8sec; 1/4mile 12.1 @ 117.4mph; 4051lbs

So with a fancy German 8-speed automatic, putting down an additional 160hp to the ground, the Failcat eclipses a manual transmission ZL1 by 4/10ths of a second??
