The Shelby now packs 540Hp. The ZR1 has a bit more than the Shelby.

I never read bout early "L's" being recalled for blowin out spark plugs, but maybe I've forgotten. That was too long ago.

Early 360HP, Later 380HP. Crank #'s.

It doesn't. FWIW, the OEMs now have a different testing std., SAE #'s.
So, according to what u said, here's the math. I'll take 46xx lbs & round up to 4700 even. 200# driver. Let's say 15 gal @~8#/gal =120 in gas. That's 5020#/380 HP. Your at 5380/280 HP. Is the 280 @ crank?

Let's say it is. So the "L" is over 300# lighter & has 100 ponies on you. From a dig in a 1/4 mile on your best day, & I like Chevy, u wouldn't win.
On the street, as said by others, variables are at work. Regardless, if it happened, that's great.

That same cold weather benefits a S/C too!

20's don't add 300#. Unless going from no rims/ tires to 20" rims/tires. Not much more than an additional 125# for all (4) 20's over a 16" setup. A factory 20" wheel/rim has to be ~75#, maybe up to 85# each. A 16" alum. wheel / tire hovers near ~47-57#. IIRC, my 16" alum w/. tire = 47#.
