C6 Z06 is one of the fastest stock cars in the world if driven properly(at the limit). C7Z06 is going to be about 500 pounds heavier. That is a lot of extra weight to carry around even for the superior c7 suspension design compare to c6 platform. And too much power is not as important on the technical road course as much as other aspects in this game.
Thats why i said in my previous post that i dont think new Z will be much faster than c6 z06. We just have to wait and see.

Also depends on where that 500 is located. The weight is honestly the biggest drawback I have about getting an E92. Unfortunately, rumored successors to the RX7, Supra and S2000 are years away. Everything I read about the new S2000 (or whatever its going to be called) has me drooling. MR platform that is a turbo 4 (out of the CTR) with possibly electronic motor awd and sub 3300lbs.
