Motortrend article on '93 C4 ZR-1 and C4 LT1 Z07

Motortrend article testing the then new '93 LT1 w/ Z07 package and 93 ZR-1 against various other cars. Let's hear everyones thoughts. http://sportmachines.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Motor-Trend-6-93.pdf

Did GM leave a lot on the table with the LT1 because it would be within striking distance of the ZR-1?

Hear me out the L98 went from "230-245" from 85-91, the LT5 "375-405" from 90-95. But the LT1 stayed at 300 for its entirety apart from a 10 lb-ft of torque jump in 93. Was this to not further nip at the ZR-1 heels? If the LT1 had been upgraded to say 325-335 hp would that mean the LT4 of 96...

The Stingray, Grand Sport, and Z06 has been sitting at 460hp, 650hp for 4 years now and the ZR1 will soon be eclipsed as well. With it's Competitors like Porsche and other exotics putting out more power each year when will GM do the same. Or is GM stubborn or just lazy?

With the introduction of the LT1 in '92 ZR-1 sales dipped by 1,542. So why did the '93-'95 ZR-1 sales not jump back despite having 20-30 more hp over the '90-'92 ZR-1?

Due to the increase of 10 ft-lbs of torque

Would a '92-95 LT1 with FX3, Z07, G92 options and a '96 LT4 with F45, G92, Z51 options better handling than a '90- '95 ZR-1 due to their lighter weight? Not asking which is faster because we all know that question and no need to cause a fighting match on the forums.
