Out of all 15 cars, only two posted a higher 1/4 mile trap speed than a 2009 Corvette ZR1. They are the McLaren 570GT (132) and the 2016 Ferrari 488 GTB (135!!). Suffice it to say these are expensive vehicles.

Only 6 posted 125 mph or higher. 125 is that common range shared with, among others:
- Hellcat
- Camaro ZL1
- C6 Z06
- C7 Z06
- Tesla Model S P100D

To put these into perspective it's not uncommon at all for a turbo LS project to trap 135 or even well into the 140s. Sloppy has many, many times. Or even higher.

I would be plenty happy with the 120-125 range. That might happen on like 8-10 psi.
