Not much to be surprised about. Take a Z06. I just had one. Explosive light and fast car. Add 800 lbs to that. Ouch. My ls7 didn't like carrying a full tank of gas and a passenger. Now give it great tires and raise its center of gravity. So, we will have a sloppy heavy z06. I can imaging that. Really, no amount of magical engineering car make the z28 anywhere near z06 performance. Yet a lot of people here hope it will be. With 800 lbs extra, I can imagine my z06 have trouble ditching my zl1.

We know the weight. The power. The dimensions. The brakes . Not much to be surprised about. Go to the ring lap times. Find the rwd cars at the z28 power level and weight. Then be hopeful it is just faster than those cars.
