Man no way in hell would a 2013 Shelby be capable of taking down a mighty ZR1!! Look at the times and mph these things put up at the track, and this one only has a custom tune!!! What was I thinking?? Poor Shelby... (smart ass sarcasm)
Now lets get serious. I know a stock ZR1 would be capable of running better times than this, but thats with good weather and a gifted driver.
Heres a 675rwhp G8 (heavier than a Shelby) spanking a ZR1's arse all night. On the ZR1's fastest pass it was still 3mph slower than the G8, and you cant say on that last pass the driver was horrible. 11.4 is a DECENT (not great) time on street tires.

Da was about 3000ft. Sure not great conditions, but what was the DA in Atlanta when the Shelby was hitting 125mph? I believe it was in the 2-3000ft range. Dont forget this ZR1 is TUNED and probably has 30rwhp more than a stock ZR1.
Heres another thing you have to think about. ZR1's typically dyno around 530-550rwhp. Shelby's are around 580-615. Thats 50-65 more, that wont wipe away the ZR1's 500lb weight advantage put it sure does put a dent in it.
