It will surely run with the base GT350 and maybe run down a track pack as well. Then the other bad news that the GT350R couldn't match the Z/28's time. Not a good day for Ford. Suddenly the conversation is now wait for the GT500.

Yeah, the more I read about the Grand Sport, the more lust it generates.

It was repaved in 2014 and resurfaced this year. You're good going back to the 2014 LL for comparison. I'll just mention that the GT350R (2016 LL) was behind the 5Gen Z/28 (2014 LL).

How much faster would the 1LE have been with Sport Cup 2's?

Well over a second. Possibly close to two seconds, those are fantastic tires.
