Not even close to apples to apples.
The SS 1LE adds no power advantage over the base SS. The LT1 through the 2SS 1LE have the same horsepower. If anything, a stripped down LT1 might have done better if it resulted in a lower weight. Unless running a road course, there's no advantage of running the SS 1LE against the GT.
The dark horse should have been compared with the SS1LE as both are more track optimized.
