I think many buyers of the Z28 would and have argued that the "Road" manner of the Z28 is quite good. I figure some would believe the Car & Driver Lightning Lap is a better venue for the Z, where it clearly shines.

Well, the thing is that the percentage of people who will ever take their performance car to a road course track is so statistically insignificant it is essentially zero. So balls out track capability, while fun to read about, is only one aspect of how good a car is in the real world.
The fastest track car, the Ferrari, didn't win either... probably because very few people are masochistic enough to want to drive it on an daily basis.
