I predict that the GT350R will come out on top on most tracks though it will be a good battle between the two of them. Though the GT350R is probably 10 times the daily driver when compared to the Z/28 (for those who care about that stuff).
I also think that the 1SS with 8 speed auto will put up a much bigger fight with the standard GT350 then most would have expected (with the GT350 ultimately winning).

I've been saying it for a long long time now. I feel the Z/28 and the GT350R will be close on most tracks, and I still think the Z/28 might possibly carry as much or more speed through the turns, as well as brake just as well, or slightly out brake it.
But the 350R will make up for it with less weight, more power, and a wider power band which should put it on top.
As for the streetability of the two...b/c of the mag ride on the 350R, there is no contest there.
Talking base 350 vs SS with mag ride, the downfall of the SS would likely be the tires compared to the 350 tires. That said, I think all it would take is a better set of rubber to match the base 350 on handling....I believe it will be that good. But again, the SS will suffer in braking (even though it is called "track capable") over time, and has a power deficit.
Oh...and to our good buddy Garagelogic....Hi. How you doing??? We all know you're trolling this thread. Gotta love how you say we all think the SS Camaro is going to run ATS-V times, and that NONE of us are considering the difference in tires, or suspension, or even torque. Except that if you pay attention at all you'd realize we've considered all of those things and the vast majority here are predicting times that are likely a couple tenths slower than the ATS-V. Now run along, and go tell your buddies how silly we all are and that every single one of us believe the SS will run ATS-V times.
