"roots" got a bad name the 350z world because Stillen used too small a model on the 350z (for clearance reasons probably, but still..). I guess ZR1 owners should be told their cars aren't trackable.
NOT "Trackable" but Tractible - meaning problem maintaining traction particularly from a standing stop or low speeds when agressive on the throttle.

I'm sure a ZR1 would do just fine on a track whether during a track day or competing. Don't get me wrong I like roots (in particular) twin screws, it's just my opinion that for MY Z I would rather have the centrifugal for the street. I'm not a racer and never will be. I like my cars to perform on the street. And once again not that a roots would no peforma well on the street it's just that I prefer the centrifagul's characteristics over the roots for street application.
