That's flywheel horse power, not wheel. AWD helps for 60ft times and is a power consuming hinderance pretty much after that, 1/4 mile wise. I don't remember what the trap speed was. That's usually and indicator of ram horse power. The stock to intake'n tune Z06s are running between 125 to 130 trap speeds.

Traction control on typically makes things slower, not faster. Maybe AWD's the exception??
