Even still, the Z06 should have a comfortable advantage in a straight line over the GT500, which leads me to believe that the new 2011 GT500's handling is absolutely incredible lol.

Well, the GT is pulling near 1G on the pad... The handling of the gt500 is probably incredible by 2+2 coupe standards. Not by z06 standards, don't get me wrong, I to would have a hard time believing that, although it's possible. I am more inclined to assume the car is underrated big time. If the car is making >500rwhp, with it's weight loss, revised suspension and better weight distribution, it could be a monster. The s197 chassis is a VERY good starting point to build a monstrous machine. We'll just have to wait and see more results.
