They weren't run on the same day, therefore they don't really run the exact same times. The Viper ACR was 3 seconds slower when run a year apart (same driver).
Go back and watch this head to head video and you'll notice the GT350R is able to break later and carries more speed throughout nearly every turn. This is where you spend a majority of your time on a course...and is the reason why these two cars with such a huge disparity in HP are so close. Just because a car can accelerate faster does not mean it will be quicker around a road course.
