That is a near 400BHP difference between the two cars, so people might put a bit too much into the ZL1 1LEs power level as being the only reason that it puts down the lap times that it does.

While that is true, I just don't see a lower HP Camaro outdoing a higher horsepower one. I guess I am just a glass half empty type.
What did Corvette do to make the ZR1 faster than the Z06? They added a ton of aero bits, stripped weight were they could and gave it more power and more torque.
Why didn't they go with a NA motor and light weight extreme aero? My guess is that it wasn't going to be faster than the Z06/Z07
