As to the brakes, note what technology pro racers use.
As far as aero, many aftermarket solutions exist, just watch a Conti Challenge in TV. All in all: likely less than $60Gs and $15+ grand to spare on track/school fees.
Anyhow, that's what I would do, or perhaps just buy a (more capable?) c7 Z51 (for thousands less) since if this is supposed to be a pure track car, the rear seat is just a weight balast (since rear passengers are not allowed on track, note Boss 302 LS had its seat out).
Just my thought trying to come to grips with the $75 price tag and its advertised use as a track "weapon".
But I suspect most of these cars will become "museum" cars, sitting on display as limited production art pieces for rich and famous, or become investment tools for those that flip such cars for profit. Not exactly what I would refer to as going back to z28 "roots". But that's just my humble opinion as an enthusiast.

I fully understand making a "bang for the buck" argument when talking about fast track cars and what's the best way for ________ (put your name here) to go fast on whatever your budget is. I completely get it. But I used the word "unique" in the last sentence in my previous post for a reason. Guys running used Spec Miatas and Corvettes set up for track days are at every track every weekend. And they will be fast. But you will likely be the only guy running a Z28 when at the track and that will be part of the fun, at least to me (but you're listening to a guy with a "look at me" paint job running an ERL 500 cu in motor in a trackable car). Plus, even if tracked and assuming you keep it off the wall, a used Z28 will likely hold it's value better than your C6 ZO6 that has had the crap beat out of it at the track. But this last statement is pure conjecture.
