So the GM engineers played a very good trick with everyone on pulling that one off with the tire difference. If you look at both cars run the Nürburgring the ZL1 tires were squirming and sliding all over the place and the Z/28 was rock solid. So without doubt with equal tires those times could have been very different, the ZL1 top speed hit 172mph and was pulling more mph on several sections of the track, even being the heavier weight. I love the Z/28 brakes most of all on that car.

No tricks involved.
GM runs them like it sells them.
They run the factory tire that is available to everyone unlike some manufacturers.
The also don't use pro drivers like most manufacturers.
