Last time I checked the 80k gt-r was pitted against the 140k 911 Turbo, not a base 911.
Last time I checked the 120k zr1 was pitted against the 200k 911 gt2.
It's funny how last time around the zr1 was pitted against the top of the line 911, but now it's been downgraded to the 911 turbo since Porsche would win the top-of-the-line comparo this time...

I would honestly hope a company could make an overall faster vehicle than another when his competitor is underpriced by ~$70K (ZR1 vs. GT2). Surely I do not have to explain why price has such a huge effect on a vehicles performance now do I? I thought it was relatively simple concept that nearly everyone knew. Price has everything to do with performance, especially if you're an enthusiast who wants the best deal when it comes performance. However, if you're one of the minority who would throw away tens of thousands of dollars to have "German Engineering," then that is your choice with your hard-earned money.
