Anyways, happy new year.

Ken what is this I read about a track only car? If serious, have you considered a Lotus. They're not as powerful but handle like go carts and are cheaper than the more finicky handling Vette
I kind of forgot this option, thank you for reminding. Now can we put an LS3 engine in that sucker?

i think that means something
I agree it's ultimately faster, in the hands of an expert driver. Not sure for the ordinary folk like me

Thing is as Chris mentions, it will carry much higher speed into entry of the next curve, therefore needs more braking and with more front weight bias, could even mean slower exit speed than a z06. So convinced the z06 won't be too far behind, while being easier to handle. Slower tracks may even give the z06 the advantage.....

But to be clear, BOTH cars are pure animal on track, really
I rode in a C5 vette once at Calabogie and that thing was like strapping an effing jet reactor to your ass!
