The GT3 RS should smash it with it's next-level downforce in turns and walk away...but that level is basically non-daily as well and not practical to drive off the course, vs. the Z06 which is definitely intended to. The GT3 was faster in turns with better front-end turn-in and grip and the Z06 was faster in straights, but obviously still pretty good in turns. Also from the testers, it's easier to get to 8/10ths in the Z06, but harder to get that last 2/10ths than the GT3.
With Savagegeese showing a significantly difference in turn speed on the course with the Z06 and GT3, I'd say something is wrong with the test above. The RS would be even faster in the turns, not slower. The testers with Savagegeese went pretty far to ensure both cars were on equal standing for tires, conditions, etc.
If you look at other results for the GT3 RS, it's in a totally different league than the GT3 and the Z06 with far more engineering and should not be competing with it, except in a drag race.
