It's the opposite of moot. It's directly relevant since the guy who buys a $75k track only Camaro most likely can buy a 911/GTR/ZR1/whatever. It was a test on a track, and the track car won. So, for track use, the Z/28 is better. Once you start adding in caveats like "has AC and stereo", "on street tires, not R Comps" and the like, it's very easy to work your way back to one of the others. The main takeaway is that, for a track-only car, the Z/28 is fantastic. Once you want a dual-purpose vehicle, a GTR/911TT is almost as fast around the track and much more liveable at the cost of twice the price.

Also, for the non-professional driver, the AWD cars are going to be faster. Randy Pobst is a beast, and his times are not our times.
