I'm still waiting for a heavy car to run a fast lap, to me the 4100lb GT500 is a heavy car, or any 4100lb car for that matter. Again, let me know when theres a 4100lb car that at least beats the ZL1 1LE's time.
Actually, I’m not done with this yet. Just to highlight how much of a fanboy you sound like, let’s compare track times.
Let’s look at how they compare.
ZL1 vs GT350R.
Read my previous post. I state actual track times. Same driver, same day. The ZL1 is NOT 2 seconds faster around Big Willow. It's 0.39. Read it!
Go back and read his posts. He absolutely is hoping for failure.
Yes a $45k SS 1LE gives a $70k GT350R a run for its money.

Right, just like the 526 HP GT350R give the 650hp ZL1 an even better run for its money.
So you are choosing ignore lap times ran by the same driver, on the same day under the same conditions and instead link lap times done on different days (or years) with different drivers under different conditions?
If you like to pay more for a car with less power and is much slower sure.
Same day lap times are ideal, but the regular ZL1 doesnt have too many documented times.millhouse said:
Except you can't say it's much slower and also say the SS 1LE (even larger gap) gives the GT350R a run for its' money.
Are you that dense? I posted same day, same driver lap times for the GT350R vs SS1LE and GT350R vs ZL1. Go back and read it!
There's more evidence showing the regular ZL1 is faster on the track than the R. Until you can post more R times that show the R is faster, I will go with the fastest laps site. This isnt comparing the track oriented ZL1 1LE either.
The ZL1 IS faster than the R. WTF are you talking about? That was never an argument.
so, a heavier car with more HP BARELY EEKS out a head of an R, but the R chassis, only better`, with 200 more HP, a blazingly better transmission, is a loser, because it BARELY EEKS in at few more pounds?
One or even a handful of datum != correlation, let alone causation. There are tracks that allow the ZL1's extra HP despite it's weight to beat the 350R and visa versa. I'm sure there will be cases (COTA?) where the GT500 manages to pip the ZL1+1LE, maybe even a C8 because it's HP manages to overcome it's prodigious weight penalty. For purposes of a bunch of non-professional drivers measuring their dicks thru their preferred 4-wheel platform of choice, call it a wash. At least when Baboons bare their fangs in a lazy yawn, as a display of dominance, there's a biologic imperative for the display.
