I think my assumption is pretty valid even without the Z07 package..... Al O's simulator has been pretty off the mark a few times.

I think most are stretching.
On high speed tracks, weight starts to matter less and power and aero become more important. Cars like the 458 and new GTR have a lot more power. The tires will help a lot, but don't forget lighter cars do better on short-medium tracks. The gap on the ring is likely to be less than 10 seconds. It will not beat a sticky tire ZO6, but I'm not sure about the 800lbs. I thought the z28 was only 3800, and I didn't think the ZO6 was 3000. It's going to be an interesting car to benchmark though. The GT500 will kill it on the street, but will get killed by it on short-medium tracks. It will be a bunch more than a GT500 anyway, so those guys will claim its a slow drag car for big money. So glad GM did it though.

Z/28 and GT500 = Apples and Oranges
Oh I bet the price will be close with (IMO) the Z/28 being less.
