Performance is within driver error so that is a wash.

Some people don't care about the numbers and are just brand snobs.

Only 4/100's? Not exactly a butt whupin'. But the 14/100's gap between the ZR1 and Ford GT is quite a few car lengths at speed.

We're also talking about a ~22 mile road course. All three cars are incredible at The Ring, so I'm not trying to choose sides here...just putting it in perspective.

Its not hundredths of a second, its seconds. So the 14 second gap and 4 second gap are sizable.

I knew that. Thanks for the correction...didn't drink enough coffee yesterday.
