From what I've read there's a lot of wrong information here! I own a '16 Z06 and my brother has a '14 ZL1, also previously owned a 675hp cts-v. The Z06 is going to put power down significantly better and more efficiently. With the standard super sport tires after I drive for about 10-15 I can start flooring it and after a few test hits and tires slipping the car starts hooking. I can usually hook from a roll in first gear and for sure in second (I have the A8.). My brothers ZL1 doesn't hook well at all comparatively, usually takes 2nd or 3rd gear. I expect the new ZL1 with the new tires and A10 should hook better and be in-between the previous ZL1 and current Z06. The wider tires and transfer of power is the difference. The Z06 is 50/50 weight were as the SS is 54/46 and I bet the ZL1 well be about 55/45. The more weight over those rear tires is where you want it.
