The GT500 was on cooked tires so it lost that day but Randy said he was positive on tires as fresh as the ZLE had the GT500 would be faster. It was 10 mph faster on the straight. He said. Since Randy said it’s the faster car I believe him. There’s a bunch of spots on the Nurburgring where that power would be put to use.
Now I want to point out I still think the ZLE is the better value. 77k versus 100k

In the end Randy still would choose the ZLE over the GT500.

And if you want lbs for lbs apples to apples comparison, throw FBO on the ZL1 at 730 or so hp and watch what it does to the GT500 where hp is no longer the deciding factor. And your priice list is post inflation values, back in 2018-2020 the ZLE's were going for less than that. I saw some priced at $50000 to $60000. Granted those were low milage used like sub 15k miles.
