Plus, the ZR1 looks nicer!
To put what lucid says into "a picture is worth a thousand words," here's a chart I put together showing various ring times as a function of power to weight. Physics are physics and ring times are very largely a function of power - observe very, very long straights - weight and tires. Really nothing else matters, and the GTR is cheating with either tires or power:
