You also have to consider the track. Different courses for different horses. I think by picking Laguna, there is a slight advantage to the lower HP car.

Anyone that's driven a Z06 knows the car is wayyyyyyyy under tired for the low weight and high HP. And without a long straight to stretch it out, the Z06 didn't get to show it's stuff.

For example, I have been told that the Cup Tires offered as an option on the 2012 Z06 alone cut 2 to 3 seconds PER LAP at one of the local tracks.

Boss is a fine package, but not so fine as to run with a car 500 pounds lighter and 60 HP short. Math isn't there.
