The GT500 was faster around Streets of Willow(inside line), and tied on Grattan raceway(according to car and driver). So actually 3 courses....carry on lol

What do both of those have in common? Super short. Streets of Willow is 1.6mi.
From the article:
So which is the better track car? Without question, it's the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
Sure, it's possible to throw down a golden lap in the Mustang if you get everything right, but duplicating that time is never easy. And you'll be working far harder and more over the limit in the Shelby.
The Camaro ZL1 can turn consistent fast laps all day. It's infinitely more precise and capable, and genuinely rewarding in its engineering goodness. The fact that it was only about a half second off the Shelby's best time despite a huge power deficit speaks volumes.
The GT500 might put down a hero lap on a short course just like a ZL1 might take a GT500 on a 1/8th mile drag strip. But it's clear the car was designed to go fast in a straight-line.
