Yeah looks like the OP may not have much track experience and he's hunting for YouTube clicks, surprising in the least see that he thinks his SS 1LE vs a ZL1 driven be his friend is a test of which car is faster on a track.

The on-paper difference between these 2 cars, assuming same tires, is a few seconds depending on the track. The difference between the 2 drivers with traffic and different tires could be 10 seconds or more :-)

I've tracked my ZLE a lot in last 3 years and same driver both cars, assuming same tires, the standard ZL1 will beat the SS 1LE on any track--technical track, high speed track, doesn't matter.

It wont always beat it by a lot, but at least 2-3 seconds all other things equal. Yes the SS 1LE has track swaybars, other track parts, but the ZL1 also has PTM and excellent suspension tuned specifically for the ZL1 to be highly track capable, and then it has the 650/650 LT4.
