I respect the data .... of mortals and their respective efforts, but we're discussing the car's capabilities.
Randy Pobst ... an actual Pro was nearly 4 seconds a lap faster at Laguna Seca in a ZLE vs an SS-1LE. Laguna Seca..... a track where you can't even exploit that extra horsepower and a track where he probably has literally 1,000+ more laps.
SS-1LE is no dog. It's not slouch. But the ZL1-1LE is just a bit tidier.
I got duffed up by a WRX at one of my last events.
Doesn't mean it's a better car.
