Neither the GT500 or the ZL1 will come out on top. The ZL1 needs more power and the GT500 needs a reworked suspension. Not to mention they both need a better Chassis.

The ZL1 and GT500 will both end up bottom feeders in this one. But I would bet if you were to take the price of each car and divide by the time it runs, the two bottom feeders will be on top for best dollar value.

The ZL1 will have good lap times, but it will not be towards the top of the list for best drivers car. Remember, this test doesn't emphasize performance numbers, but stresses on driver enjoyment and feel.

Catch me if you can

Right off the bat the ZL-1 is going to be dinged hard, and it's because of the current complaints about it.
The ZL-1 has it's flaws, but as most camaro owners have noticed they over come them fast and enjoy a great car that brings a smile to almost everyone. My prediction, I think the ZL-1 will be in the top 4 with the GT500 equal or just behind it. Both cars appeal to their prospective market targets.
