if they wanted to save weight why didn't they made a fiberglass hood plastic fenders and doors like the 4th gen... it could run even faster and that 3 second lap..maybe 4??

Fiberglass is often heavier than aluminum. At least that is true with boats and RVs.

something else to ponder....
Camaro always came in just under powerd vrs the corvette with the same drivetrain. Now that the C6 Z06 will no longer be, I am willing to bet the LS7 will come with a few more ponies in the Z28 Better flowing exhaust, CAI, re-tuned for the Camaro & gearing... Just hope its not way out of reach price wise..

Does the z06 ls7 come with the same tri-y headers or cast?

I Think the Z28 is a very cool concept, LS7 in the Camaro is pretty epic if you ask me. I just didn't like one thing about it. I got carbo ceramic brakes, something that wasn't available in the ZL1. But then the interior was shitty? No gauges on the bottom, by the shifter? No floor mats? Not that I'm hating on the Camaro interior, but I hope they spruce it up for the 6th Gen.

Back in the day when USAC had the 302cui limit rule my grandpa dropped one of the DZ motors into a spring car with an upgraded valve train and ported heads. This thing would scream from what I've heard from those who raced with him. It would easily crank to 10k and not miss a beat.

Very long and technical posts.... In layman terms....is it more durrabke than the ls7 in the z06? Or is it limited to NA applications sans boost?
