Ever since GTR's hit showrooms, people have called it "Playstation" because of the electronics. Whereas, a ZR-1 depends more on the driver to do the actual work.

Again, I've not driven either car to know how true it is, but that's a criticism I've seen lodged against the car since it came out.
Actually that's a good thing. Given that driving ability does not increase with wealth, the GTR computers protect those rich 50 year olds experiencing their midlife crisis. Just look at how many porsches, ferraris, and lamborghinis end up wrapped around a lightpole or tree or upside down in a ditch somewhere.

Yeah none of those old rich guys can drive and you never see younger guys wrapping their cars or ending up in a ditch.
