But suffice to say the GT350R felt slightly more nimble but it tramlined much more than the ZL1 1LE. IMO, both are well balanced cars. GT350R has a fantastic exhaust note, but the ZL1 1LE has incredible low end torque. Stock to stock I think the ZL1 1LE is a much more capable car not just in speed around a track or canyon but just in comfort/features overall -- heated/cooled seats, more comfortable seats, heads up display, rev match, etc.
i could not agree more(had a regular 350, not an R though). the lack of tramlining was the first thing i noticed, after the abundance of torque, on my drive home. the zl1 comes with so much more stuff for the money, i truly don’t understand how these drop in value so much faster than the mustang equivalent.

i will say though you may end up not as far off as one might think when comparing resale, as sticker for my 350 was considered a steal when i bought it, and many people paid 10-30k over for an R. i just got 8k off my 2018 ZL1-1LE, which just doesn’t happen with ford’s top dog.
