The wider track rubber, lighter wheels and the fact that VIR was repaved after the ZL1 ran its times and before the Z28 ran gave the Z28 a HUGE advantage.
Anyone whose run there before and after will tell you that their times are faster post-paving, with 6 sections widened up to 6'.
So again;
1) Give the ZL1 wider tires
2) Give the ZL1 dedicated track rubber
3) Give the ZL1 lighter wheels (reduce unsprung weight)
4) Let the ZL1 rerun the Lightning Laps on the repaved and widened track versus what it ran in 2013
And yes, it will make up those 6 seconds.

Throw a cam in the Z/28 to close the power gap and watch the Z/28 run away.
