These two were the absolute top of the supercar foodchain. 458 who? Godzilla? a snack maybe, just before a full course meal of aventador with a side of gallardo and MP4-12c.

Battle of the gods.
Porsche and Corvette clearly make the best sports cars in the world. Absolutely no contest

There the same. Theres really no saying otherwise.
You put THE BEST drivers, Drag and Track with these to cars, No biased, they would be the same in everything. The GT2RS/ZR1, GT3RS 4.0/ZO6 Carrera GTS/GrandSport, Carrera S/Z51, Are THE most compatible cars put together the world has ever seen, Porsche 997.2/ Chevrolet Corvette C6. Couldn't get closer if you wanted.

keep in mind the corvette's laps are a mix of the 2008 and 2012 models. the gt2 rs may be faster than the 2008 zr1, but as the laguna seca lap and also the hockenheim laptime shows (which is usually biased towards Porsche) there's no denying the 2012 zr1 is quicker around a track.
