Thanks Tommy,
Thanks for your thoughts. When the Cobra was running Vettes back in the day they had the same weight advantage. The 800 pound difference between your car and the Z06 was a today remains about the same I would guess. That 800 pounds equates to, what a 25 percent horsepower advantage. Changes 8 pounds per horse to only 6 pounds per horse. Said a bit different 400 horse needs to be 533 horsepower to carry an extra 800 LBS

The tire difference between track rubber and street rubber would actually let you put some of the power to the ground. The suspension on your Car I am again betting is the latest greatest stuff available for a C4. The bigger asset would be having sorted the car out and your comfort/experience.
