You are correct. For some reason I was reading ZL1 instead of ZR1. My bad.

Pretty sure the ZR1 makes noticeably more torque than the GT500 by close to 100 lb-ft if I remember correctly. Also what compression are both motors running? That would make a noticeable difference.

GM typically sets up their motors to have a broader and more linear powerband compared to the Coyote based motors even though I'm sure the GT500 motor is pretty strong most everywhere. Just like with an LSx the GEN5 motors personality is easily manipulated by a cam swap.
