Edit:
Looks like it was a 10.98

Yes, Jamie Furman produced a 10.9 @ 129mph with a stock Z06 with stock tires, I believe.

Charger SRT-8
As mentioned earlier, the ZR1 has the magnetic ride control shocks making for an even nicer daily driver.

Can you clarify regarding the transmission part? I thought the steering changed, but the tranny didn't?

They gave it the transmission from the Dodge Viper. I think its the Tremec 6606 or something similiar to that. It is a different tranny. I loved mine. From what I remember, the suspension was changed in '07. The tranny was changed in '08. I think the cooling or oil setup was upgraded in '09.
