(This is based on the review posted. No track times to confirm and transmission feel is subjective).
Even if you can make an argument that the ZL1 has better cooling for track use, then it's still a toss up on what's important to you. Do you visit the drag strip more than the track? Do you want the most fuel economy you can get? Is reaching 200 mph important to you? Do you want the extra strength of a forged engine? The GT500 isn't a bad handling car either. Why is an advantage in handling make something a better car isntead of an advantage in weight, acceleration, top speed, and fuel economy? It's not like the GT500 handles like a brick. It's also an excellent handlng car.

Every time somebody brings up fuel economy in these discussions I cant stop laughing. I'm certian that FE is at the top of the ZL1/GT500 crosshopper list.
Only thing over the ZL1 the gt500 has going for it is its faster with its newer motor. Thats it. The MRS is so good its in an entirely different league for ease of use and performance/comfort. And even after that you have to deal with the not so good exhaust note out of the 5.8. Abit better of a SC whine though.
