I’m talking about professional tracks with professional timing, not some writers with a stopwatch. The go to place for real world head to head cars, Fastest laps website for stock production cars, real times on real tracks.
R&T PCOTY doesn’t even put the cars on a race track, just your basic performance numbers and more feelings what some guys think. One is quicker to 60 but the other is quicker to 100, one has a higher trap yet the other has a lower ET.......How can we quantify that? We can’t. Real race track lap times only.

Chris Walton drove both and is more than a capable driver.
I don’t think Fastest Laps is definitive. What is definitive is same day, same driver. Or at least same driver and procedures, like Sport Auto.
Again, I don’t see anything major changing the performance outcome for the Vette.
