So what is it that makes everyone think it's so much better? The GT350 TP is the one the 1LE will be out to beat. And based on the SS numbers, it won't need much to shut it down.

Top end speed is what I refer to, and why I mention long straights being the downfall of the SS in a race against the GT350. You are right about power to weight, but don't forget the GT350 has 70 more HP.
