I don't understand how you are thinking that the main point of the comparison here is price. The as tested prices are $28k apart. Thats a pretty big gap if you ask me.

Scanning Porsche's website ... if they wanted to do a dollar-for-dollar comparision, they would probably have gone with a 911 Carrera GTS. It starts within about 5% of the MSRP of the ZR1. Wouldn't that have been the logical choice to do a price based comparison between a ZR1 and a 911?
