We have to take the Edmunds article with a grain of salt merely because it was the street and not a real track. I have absolutely no doubt the ZL1 handles like a dream on real-life roads and instills confidence to the driver far more than the GT500, but tracks are always different because they are more predictable and usually test runs are made by track-experienced drivers.

For example, the Viper will make most people poo their pants, and yet it's the fastest production car round Nurburgring (excluding the go-karts). I think the same will be for the GT500: some experienced expert driver will get better track times on the GT500 than a ZL1. The problem is for most of us, we won't be that good. And no-one can take away from the ZL1's amazing skidpad numbers - fantastic!
