Judging by the MT test and the C&D test it seems to me that both cars are evenly matched. It'll come down to whichever engine (DOHC vs pushrod) is more suitable for whichever particular track the cars are on. I don't think it's logical to use a tire argument these days. For the record, the Mustang guys were the ones who started that nonsense. But any advantage that comes from tires on either of these cars will be insignificant or very minimal.

GM did however design and tune the Alhpa chassis in a away they gets praise for any car that uses it. That does appear to be Ford’s problem. They took advantage of the low hanging fruit with the Cup2 tires (to create a ultimate street, non-track car ) but didn’t sort the whole thing out.

Pretty sure the H2H was PP1 vs 1LE because Ford told MT the PP2 was not available yet. This was the infamous “cowboy racing” episode.

and then they pick a Kia Stinger, Alfa Stelvio and Civic R over a ZR1 as best driver's car and they start looking like click bait Youtuber's to me. |

If we use the reviews comments about how the car feels vs the times it runs, that argument went on for weeks in this forum when the H2H picked the GT350 over the ZL1 because it felt better. Is it the stopwatch that makes the car better or the feeling and excitement the car generates? I vote the later but most in here did not agree at that time.

It's both actually. The stopwatch makes it the better car for arguing on the internet, but the feeling it generates is what puts it in most owners garages.

I get why the GT350R was picked over the C7 Z51 and ZL1. It’s got to be immensely fun to rev a engine out to 8,000 rpm while the whole car shakes violently. Especially if it’s a free test car loaned to you for a week. I just wouldn’t want to own it in or out of warranty for that same reason.
