Good observation. Having said that the article mentioned them running the 1le in Track mode but not in Track PTM Race mode. If they just set it to Track they wouldnt get full engine power. Both cars have identical 0 to 60 and qtr mile times, so acceleration on track should be fairly close imo. They also dont mention no lift shifting capability. So who knows...the lap delta could have been bigger? Just a speculation on my part here.
Either way, based on price as tested, the M2 should have gone against a ZL1. That in itself shows what an amazing performance bargain SS 1LE is. And the ZL1 too of course (on a much higher level).
