I'm saying its
not based on price since there is another 911 that costs almost the same amount as a ZR1. If they wanted to go on pricing, they would have used it instead of the turbo.
Why did they pick the 911 Turbo? Probably because they expected it to do better than it did. My guess is they tried to get two very different cars to post similar results around the track. The finesse and handling of the 911 vs the brute force of the ZR1. Problem is, there is more to the ZR1 than just brute force.
As for why
not the GT2 RS? Probably because HP is about the only thing those cars have in common. The GT2 RS would likely win every performance category since its nearly a street legal race car. So you're left with a pretty boring story: the more expensive car is faster. Wow, who would have guess that one!
