Of note, I do think you're talking about the GT350, which is naturally aspirated, would have a more traditional torque curve, does get out lapped by a ZL1, but most certainly does not have 760 hp. The GT500 will not be outpaced by a ZL1 on probably any track.

GT500 already beat by a ZL1:

The non-1LE is the same or faster to 60 and in the quarter and it's no slouch on the track either. ZL1 faster to 60, a wash at the quarter and faster on the track.

Underrated?
Where does that say it's faster on the track? I just saw max grip numbers, no lap times.

It was still 8 mph behind at the quarter, they were clearly having an easier time hooking up the Camaro.

Why can't someone build one of these two in 5/8's scale, and 500-600 pounds lighter?
