Not necessarily true at all. Try my GEN 1 Lightning. Weighs around a 1000 pounds more than your TA's and Z's and sits higher, too, yet will out handle one of your TA's or Z's in the twisties any day of the week. Can those pull a .89-.90 G on the skid pad???? Nope, didn't think so. Oh, and that's with our stock suspensions, too
. Even the new GEN 2 L's are right behind us. Now you'll beat a stock GEN 1 in a straight line but a stock GEN 2 will be right there with you. We have quite a few stock GEN 2s running low 13s (around 13.3s) over on the National Lightning Owners Club site. Most run high to mid 13s (some are low 14s but for reasons of elevation and all that, yes).
Just for grins here's a link to the member's GEN 2 list with alot of the GEN 2s in the club.

11s, 12s, and 13s in the 1/4. Most of them are in the 12s.
And just for kicks here's a list of some of the GEN 1 members times on the site. The fastest being a 7.88@179
. Starting at mid 15s in the 1/4.
