This shows that power alone guarantees nothing. Also, look at the torque on the 2014. 610 lb-ft would be a backward step. ...and I thought torque means nothing to the Ford community...gearing...gearing...gearing...power... rpms

This is the perfect example of just how good the base ZL1 is vs the ultimate Track Pack Ford GT350R.
Where Ford had all the power advantages, it couldn't even touch the Z/28 on any road course. Yet the R, can't even hang with a base ZL1.
We obviously know just how bad the ZLE widens the gap.
I agree with Ethanolic -
GT500 will be faster in a straight line than a ZL1.
GT500 will be slightly slower than the Redeye.
GT500 CFTP +/- or = ZLE depending on track with a slight bias to ZLE w/A10.
