My 2017 won't do that with either tune from 2 well known companies.......just so much torque management happening and no way to get a decent 60' time. Granted these tunes are fairly new and still a big work in progress.

My theory on the 3.5EB / 10-speed / 3.31 gears is that it might be faster than those with 3.55s & 3.73s because: (1) it doesn't need any lower ratios and closer gears in the bottom; and (2) has the disadvantage of not having too many close shifts in the bottom (loosing a tiny bit of acceleration potential with each shift).
My 18 (3.5EB / 10-speed / 3.31 gears) is crazy fast - like the OP described. I think I'd mess my pants if I put it to the floor off the line. I've only once put it to the floor - to pull out and pass someone. It went from 110 km/h to God-only-knows-what in a second. I waited until I had about 2,500 km on it before I tried that, and I've been scared to do it again since!
I really want to hook it to a 6,000 lbs. trailer and see what it'll do!

Enjoy towing your 2722kg trailer!

Yeah, growing up in Canada, I learned both, and I move back and forth between the two. My father taught me to convert between metric and imperial at a young age, so I flip back and forth.

13.75 in the 1/4 mile is really fast if you're running stock with no tune. Would you mind sharing the time ticket?
