So, the Z weighs around 200lbs less and runs .1 - .2 seconds quicker in the quarter mile? Makes sense, and everyone should have expected these QM times.

I'm confused in the bolded part of your question. The Z isn't quicker than the SS.

Disappointing to me as I thought it was going to beat a much heavier car in 0-60 and quarter mile times.

Again, I am referring to the 4th gens, of which the Z is indeed quicker. My post was to comment in the similar weight, HP, and QM times of the 4th gen versus the 370, and how we could have all predicted how fast the 370 was going to be once we knew the HP, simply because it was so similar to the 4th gen.
