But at the same time I don't think it should be considered exceeding when you are beating a car down 120 HP and 200 some pound feet of torque. That to me is like a heavy weight boxer bragging about knocking out a middle weight

I disagree. In the last generation, the lighter, naturally aspirated Boss 302 and Z/28 were faster than the more powerful GT500 and ZL1. The GT350R weighs 276 lbs less (
3,650 vs 3,926 lbs) and has carbon-fiber wheels that remove 16 lbs of unsprung weight at each corner. If the ZL1 post a faster lap it will be a major accomplishment.
The GT350R is special with a chassis designed specifically for the Mustang with a track specific FPC engine, etc. The ZL1 is a bottom breathing parts bin car built on a sedan chassis with a band aided LT4 engine.
