Motor Trend is testing cars at Laguna Seca for Best Driver Car competition including the GT350R and 2017 Camaro SS 1LE. Any predictions which one will be faster on track?

Not a fair comparison. The new 1LE should compete with the standard GT350, not the R.

So of course the GT350R should be faster, and if it isn't...oh boy

Remember we are talking about Govt Motor Trend here... I think we already know who they are picking. Hint... not the one we really like here.
Don't waste your time or money on this mag.
Co worker let's me read his and month after month if the test involves a GM car it will most likely win the comparo. To the point where I leave it on my desk for a day or two then give it back without opening it.

Yea R vs 1LE isn't a fair comparison.. I hope it isn't close bc that would be embarrassing.

New z28 will stomp the R though.

The only way the Camaro wins, if they put a log under gas pedal of the R.
even then its likely close LOL.

The Camaro SS, Corvette Z06, and CTS and variants all have trouble putting power down to the pavement. If anything, the V6 1LE may be the actual driver's car if the SS 1LE can't plant itself.

Which one, inside and outside, looks like it was designed by a sugar addled 7 year old?

The R "should be" the faster one on the track.

Though... I predict General MotorsTrend will pick the Camaro as the Best Drivers Car. :frusty:


Edit:
Also noticed 92dBA is in effect
