Acceleration-wise it should be about the same difference as the 5th gen Z/28 is over its base SS cousin. At least over the top half of the GT350's rev range, which might take some driver adjustment to get used to using. Not that the under-3500 range is all that weak on an absolute scale, just that it is compared to what lives up higher or in engines of considerably larger displacement.

On the handling side the non-R GT350 vs GT, even vs the GT/PP, should compare about the same as the 5th gen 1LE vs the same base SS.
