I originally asked because the lap times fo the Z06/Z07 is crazy even the 7:10 around the Nurburgring is sick think of it only 11 seconds away from braking into the 6 min barrier.

I think the C6 Z06 community pretty much thinks the 7:10 entry done on 6/16/2012 is bogus, and I agree. 7:22 is the accepted time for a Z07 packaged car.
I don't agree with you on the stock C6 Z06 needing coilovers and sways to be a VERY competent track car....especially if the car in question is a street car first, weekend warrior second. Deki's statement above of just using comp-R tires is pretty much right on. To that I would add comp brake pads and high temp fluids (on stock rotors), track bar, and a removable race seat and harness. While coilovers are nice, they really aren't neccassary unless you plan on running TT or better.
I would encourage you to join the Corvette big board and post your desires on how you plan to drive the car in both the C6 Z06 and Roadrace sections, to see what owners that are also experienced track drivers would suggest. Lots and lots of knowledge available (including dedicated full/part time race guys) to help you mod your future car without going overboard in the $$$ department.
