Motortrend results suggest the two are damn near identical.
It will be difficult to beat this new ZL1 (as configured) around anything other than a tight, technical track with a future Z/28 featuring less power.
Which leads me to believe that maybe....just maybe....that winged beast that was testing around the Nurburgring was a ZL1 with what equates to a "Z07" package...perhaps now called the "race package", or "GT4 package"....I just don't know if they can use "GT4" in production...That would be wicked...and perhaps decrease the lap time into the high 7:10s - low 7:20s...

A number of small improvements at sub 60 mph speeds can have a huge cumulative effect at high speed.

A 6th Gen Z/28 would have to be lighter than the ZL1 by 110 to 200 pounds. A Trofeo based tire and wheel package with be worth seconds on any road course. Stickier tires and better brakes are always a winning combination, but we need to be 500 NA at the rear wheels to best the new and very very very good ZL1 with all the SC HP.
