I sorta look at the 350 and 350R like the BOSS and BOSS LS. That may be a bad assumption on my part. Even if it is an underestimate of the difference, it would be a big jump in performance to get to Z06 levels. Look at the times the listed. The 2015 vs 2011 Z06 is less than 16 seconds. That is after adding about 150 hp, 150 tq, 200 lbs, stiffer chassis, MRR, and more areo. Comparing the 2012 BOSS LS to the GT350R you see less increase in hp and tq, added MRR but a reduction in weight. It is hard to see how it can be 18 seconds faster than the BOSS, which is what it would take to get to the Z06 time at VIR.
