ZL1 (6M) vs GT350R Head2Head

This Head2Head aired today. One thing I thought was interesting is that the GT350R and SS 1LE lap time for Streets of Willow (Big Willow) were identical at 1:28.29

That's impressive!

To me that the most important thing that comes out of the video . That the 45k 1SS 1LE posted the same lap time as the GT350R and it cost 20k less .

Also, OP should edit the thread title to "SS 1LE matches GT350R Big Willow time!"

M6 ZL1 ran a 1:27.90.

The interesting thing is that they never mentioned the SS 1LE's time matching the GT350R's. It was only in the summary of lap times toward the end of the video after the race.

Previous MotorTrend testing had the ZL1 running a 126:16. Why did it get so much slower?

That's a good point, the ZL1 is capable of being a full 1.5 sec quicker! But different conditions on different days and maybe the fact that the probably do a lot more laps for the Ignition videos. I know they have a pretty standard method for the H2H and BDC where they run 1 warm up lap and then 3 timed laps and THAT's IT!

Maybe another test is coming? I mean I was hoping the SS 1LE would match the regular GT350, as that would be impressive in itself...but to match the GT350R?! That is CRAZY.
