Since the 2003 Cobra we've heard the "well a vette" and now that GM knew they could not beat the GT500 on a drag strip they strated promoting handling to this new point you are making, "how long".
The ZL1 will heat soak a lot faster than a 2013 GT500. The ZL1 has a 1.9 liter blower feeding a 6.2 liter engine. It has to spin a lost faster than a 2.3 liter blower feeding a 5.8 liter engine and one with 32 valves soo it is not as efficient. It's shoving a lot more hot air in that engine. The valley between the heads is a lot smaller than a DOHC engine, therefore the I'C is a lot smaller. The 2013 will beat a ZL1 in any venue even a road course.
