Power means nothing without the ability to use it. The ZL1 has a better power to weight for sure (not by much), but it also matches every handling metric compared to the GT350R. That's why it loses. That's also why the SS 1LE is so close because the reality is the LT4's power doesn't contribute that much to the lap times. But I wouldn't say the SS 1LE would beat the R same day/track/driver either.
Sorry but were we talking about Hellcats? A car never intended to perform at a track. Or were we talking about why Chevy needs a supercharged 120+hp advantage to beat a N/A mustang by .39 seconds. But wait the SS 1LE is faster
