I saw that vid the other day and was thinking the same thing. The Shelby would have decimated the GT-R if it had all wheel drive, too. The GT-R is a super fast machine, but it sounds like a Camry and no amount of aftermarket exhaust is gonna make it sound mean with the turbos chopping up the exhaust pulses. The Aventador and the Mclaren are exotic supercars that cost 4 to 7 times what the Shelby costs, so you'd expect them to win.

What I find amazing is the 911S with only 400hp running a 12.0 @117mph...normally aspirated. It beat the ZL1 with 160 less hp...
The GT500 if it had a shorter gear with more rubber out back like the ZL1 I think the GT500 would be in the low 11s or 11.0s.
