-Brakes were only improved up front? I may be mistaken, there...

Optionally,
-bilstein shocks weren't what allowed the GTR to beat the ZL1 around Inde...MR is vastly superior part for part...
-3 factory-installed cooling systems?

EDIT:

Additionally...I'm curious to know how many times the GT500 is allowed to "over rev" to 7000 in a given time period...it sounds great for a drag race, but would appear to leave the car to the same rpm limit as the Z around a road course.
Partially right but the engine is a crazy redo (watch jamed hamedi speak about the engine)
-Different everything from the oil pan to different crank, valves pistons, ford gt cams, forged con rods, cross drilled block,tvs 2300 like the zr1 but with more effective intake side... ...the zl1 runs a small 1.9l supercharger ...thats smaller then the 2.0 2012 gt500 superchager!
