The GT500 needs to handle as well as the non-R GT350 at the very least and then have a good 75-100 hp advantage and it'll match or beat the ZL1. The ZL1 1LE will be a different story.

Take a look at the 1LE vs ZL1 times on Big Willow. That big of HP difference only paid 2 secs better with essentially the same car. You're talking about half that HP advantage on the R's time, which is 2 secs behind as well. They are going to need more than just a blown 5.2L in a R to get ahead of the ZL1. I definitely think it's possible, but they have to improve in handling or weight.
