1. ariel atom 3 is not 30k lol. and like i said, it was beat by the zl1.
2. M3, S5, boss 302, cayman R, mercedes c63 black? these cars are all a joke for the z/28. heck, they are a joke for the zl1...
3. the other cars you listed are all at least 30k above the 70k mark, set aside the Z06 which still starts 5k above the 70k mark and..
4. unless you get the z07 (which is 100k+), the standard z06 WILL be lapped by this car.

did you even look at the lap times i linked?

again... 3 cars

this is a preference thing. but if your going to compare cars, to be fair you need to compare new to new. otherwise you can get a used 80's f1 car and call it a day lol
