I think you mean the GT-R makes people look better than they are.

The ZL1's traction/ stability control gimmicks work well to help keep the driver stay on track to an extant but it's not nearly as robotic as the GT-R with all it's electronic / computer wizardry.

The reviews indicate that the ZL1 is a very involving fun to drive car. So it's nothing like playing Gran Turismo like the GT-R. In other words the driver aids work well put they aren't so intrusive that it makes driving feel like your playing a video game.
I have driven ZR1's, which have the same stuff as in this ZL1. The computer aids are seamless, and you don't know they are working when they are. It is VERY involving, and you can accomplish 99.99% of what the car can do without turning them off. Like our instructor told us "You turn the computer off, you won't go faster, you'll just crash faster".

never drove a GTR.
