I'm not talking about professional...LeMans - grade racing, now...I hope you realize. No factory car, not even a C6 Z06 could stand up to that without being built specifically for it...
I do get that, but the ZL1 will carry other baggage w/ it that will make the Mag ride a little less effective the it could be. I hope the ZL1 does well, but the SC will hold it back more then most people think , because of heat build up over time (in RR terms). And yes a LaMans car is a completely different then a stk average joe car built for the track. Just don't be so quick to think that the Boss is all hype (sounds like Kool Aid talk). Like I said it is a track car that can perform w/ out mod's for the average joe at a fair price w/ warranty. A.K.A th GS vette is to the average joe in the Vette world.

The ZL1 would have to put up Vette like # to beat the Boss and I just don't see them doing that again. (Having a less costly car put up better #) Time will tell and just for the record I think it would be cool to shake up the Vette world again.
