You're both cherry-picking, as is almost everyone else. One the one hand, the gt500 won the 3 lap race if that's what you want to call it. It posted both the fastest lap time and the fastest total time for 3 laps. However, it was slowing thanks to brake fade, so the results may indicate the zl1 would come out on top if the race were extended. On the other hand, this is only one of a multitude of magazine and real world match ups. Overall it seems the gt500 and zl1 are very evenly matched as far as outright performance goes on the track. That does not mean the gt500 is as easy to drive as the zl1 or as rewarding (subjective), but it does mean that as far as raw data is concerned, so far, the gt500 and zl1 are pretty even on the road course. If one doesn't skew the results to suit their opinions, it is blatantly obvious that neither one of these cars is the clear winner on track. The areas in which there are clear winners are daily drivability and acceleration.
