With PTM, magneto suspension and all the track coolers, the ZL1 is a much better all around GT car. Yes the GT500 will probably be a little faster in the 1/4, but the few 1/10's seconds faster is not worth giving up the looks, comfort, all around performance, and engineering marvel of the ZL1.

My only issue with the above is that you are saying that the ZL1 will be a more comfortable DD. Based on what? The suspension? Visibility? Tires? Seating position? Transmission choices? Isn't most of that stuff a preference call based on the owner? Or are there objective facts that can be used to define and qualify those....metrics?
The same thing applies to "all around better car". That is quite subjective, at best, and will be determined by each individual owner based upon their own wants, needs, desires, etc.
To each their own, and I take nothing away (nor give anything extra) to either car.
