Let's look at that video... Sure, ZO caught the guy sleeping at the "tree". But even with that, he still beat an ALL-WHEEL DRIVE car (that was two-stepping) "that couldn't have had more then 400-500" from a dig, in the 1/8 mile. So yeah, he might not have beat the Evo by a lot... 1/8 doesn't give you a lot of room.
Again, I'm not taking sides by trying to make ZO sound unbeatable or whatever, 'cause he ain't. But I do think he'll be a lot more difficult to beat than you think.
