Yeah, a GS only weighed ~600lbs more than the Z06 and barely got 12's in the quarter. But it also cost 10 to 20 times less depending on whether you buy new or used.
Dropped a shift kit in the 400 turbo-hydramatic transmission and after that the 455ci would do 90mph in first gear (about a city block). Shifting to second gave incredible acceleration but I never ran that out because the tires were bias ply. Rated for about 120mph. Scary stuff and it got there plenty fast for me. It never saw a race track unless you count the back roads through Appalachia
