I read a test on the SL65BS in Autoweek - they said on the track (Laguna) that the weight is VERY apparent. It is not a track star at all. The ZR1 will walk all over this car in the straight line, twisties and braking (funny how the $300K SLBS doesn't even have carbon brakes, but the $100K ZR1 does.
Yeah, just the thought that some car enthusiast claim that it would be close really startled me. It really gives you an idea of the actual real knowledge some of the posters have here.
