That CTR is doing wonders with a FWD layout. It really shouldn't be as competitive with the Z off the line as it is

Id attribute it to front engine FWD and better tires, giving it grip advantage over the Z.
That issue has been thrashed ad nauseum at this point tho

The reason the CTR takes off so well in dry conditions is because the suspension of that car is highly developed. It's not just tires.
Conversely, the suspension geometry in the Z is old and less engineering has been spent on it, so no matter the tires, it's always going to struggle.

So far, the Z has been tested against cars that have been revised, updated versions (Dot 2, 3, etc..) of their debut year or against top tier "special" versions. I think the Z is doing just fine in it's first launch with so much more to come.
