The GT350 out breaked and cornered the mighty ZL1 on the track. The biggest advantage the ZL1 has is that HUGE horsepower and torque it carries.

Lol. You realize the GT350R lost in every measurable performance metric, right? The GT350R a dedicated track car, with a design specific engine and carbon-fiber wheels that remove 16 lbs at each corner. In the 5th gen, the lighter, NA cars dominated at the track beating the heavier, high HP variants. It should have won here but the S550 doesn't appear to be on par with Alpha. Living up to the hype.

1.7 seconds slower...this time

The ZL1 didn't have a vibrating seat and steering wheel to "pleasure" the driver. Factor?

Do you understand that downshifting is to keep it in the high rpm range? Because it has a poor low end.
