They are pretty darn close in price when you add the magnetic dampers to the C8 ($1,895 option).

You're probably right about the Z06 vs. Aventador, McLaren 720S, etc. I think it will fall short of that level. It will be more like "entry level" supercar performance. The ZR1 will be right there with the big dogs, though. The C7 Z06 went 7:13 around the 'ring, I wonder what the new C8 Z06 will go? For comparison, the Ferrari 488 Pista went 7 mins flat.

FWIW, the Huracan Performante went 6:52 and it's NA...so maybe the Z06 will surprise us. I wasn't planning to mention the Aventador's time of 6:44.9 since it's a V12 and cost more than a half milllion dollars, but I just did anyway.

On another note: I didn't realize the Z51 package adds a 5.17 rear differential to the C8 until I just built one. No wonder it does 0-60 in under 3 seconds. That's some serious torque multiplication assuming the power can be put down (which it obviously does very well). 81% greater than the ZL1 (2.85 rear diff).

5:17? Hows the launch on that thing though? Gotta be a great driver with all that wheel spin.
