Look across many diff manufacturers, drag determines top speed, a lot more than weight. Any person who has taken a z06 to 190, will tell you how it goes from 100 to 175, with the effort it takes a Camaro to go from 20 to 70. After that the Camaro has a bitch of a time fighting drag. There is a video of a z06 with minor mods just smoking a zl1 with some big HP. The zl1 guys said the z06 must have had more mods, nope, the shape of the car is the trump card. The z28 will have corner advantage and exit speed on the zl1, as far as "smoke it everywhere"....doubt it
