Really ?
A ZR1 (luckily I have one), never mind the X, will beat 95+% of supercars priced from $400k-6 million will win 0-60 or top speed contests, or both. That's with a stock ZR1, although my '26 ($204k MSRP) has relative moderate hp upgrades, such as reducing rotating weight that results in noticeably quicker acceleration times.
Plus, although the X is great at acceleration, on an open road contest, like on the autobahn, the electric motor disconnects a 160 mph leaving you with dragging around some 238 lbs of dead weight while not providing any traction. Keep in mind the $12,700 ZR1 base increase, and $17,000 ZR1X increase.
So based upon the above facts, what was your question again ?
Note: given the many fools hiding behind their screens, I'll refrain from listing all the cars and all their performance times.
