The first ferrari in the video is a pre 1994 348TS. They ran mid to high 14's (rated at 296hp).
The second ferrari in the video is a F355. It's a 3.5L that makes 375 horsepower and 268 foot-pounds of torque. They run mid to high 13's.
The third ferrari appears to be a Testarossa (although it could be a 512TR as well.) Testarossa's V12's were rated at 380hp and 350ftlbs torque and they ran the quarter in mid 13's. If it's a 512TR it did high 12's.
2 of the 3 Ferraris on the track are atleast over 10 years old. Low 13's was considered FAST then. It's not hard to imagine a car with more horsepower that's getting it to the ground better is going to be faster.
BTW z06 owner (and I LOVE it) so, you know that I'm not biased.

I think handling comes into play here more than horsepower. They weren't drag racing, I only saw one straight long enough to take advantage and the pass wasn't even aggressive. If they could carry more cornering speed, the Z06 wouldn't be riding their *** through the turns no matter how much more horsepower it has. Horsepower doesn't equal handling.

If that's a yellow ZO6, it's my friend Nick. He's got Katech stage II heads and GT2/GT3 brakes, so it's not like he's even close to stock anymore. Those cars never had a chance! 
When I watch it at home later, I'll let you know.
