Not a huge difference if there both manuals, And the only track is VIR, With the 1LE about a second faster, But ill take the one on the left.

@BR2+, yeah I considered that.
...But I couldn't find any common track/laptimes between the SS1LE and the M4... Plus the twin-turbo/DCT/lighter M4 is significantly quicker than the naV8/manual/heavier SS1LE at the drag strip.

The ZL1's power/weight is closer to the M4 than the SS1LE's is.

...Both ZL1&M4 are forced-induction, and their quarter mile times are very close.

Should have been the 1LE, Much more closer in comparison.

Dang, this was a close one, especially quarter mile results... Hmmm, which forced-induction, 2-door, rear-wheel-drive, 4-seater would y'all choose?... I think I'd have to take the supercharged one :)
Nordschleife: ZL1
Hockenheim: M4
Laguna Seca: ZL1
Sachsenring: M4
... literally back and forth, very close match-up! :)
