Eh, I don't think it will, even with your speculations (of course mine are similar to yours
.) I think in a straight line, it would have a chance, but not in the twisties. The 'Vette is likely to be so much lighter and the chassis is still better than the Zeta.
I think Camaro is better for more reasons. IT'S A CAMARO is the first reason among many others. As much as I love seeing the 'Vette kinda' go retro' with it's style and think Chevy has done even better with what I've seen of Camaro. To think there could be more suprises than what has been leaked is even more encouraging for me.
As far as a $45K Camaro Z28 vs. C6 at the same price - that could be a tough one. For me, I think my personality better matches that of Camaro, so even it Camaro was a little more expensive, I'd still go with it. It has four seats, probably a larger trunk, and just more in your face, I think.
JMHO.
