Based on what? Look up cold viscosity for both

Higher viscosity at high temp isn't necessarily "better", it actually robs power and doesn't flow quite as well

So, other than following the GM recommendation for track use, what would be the point of not using 0w40?
See my post above. 5W-30 or 10W-30 is all you need unless you track the car and are worried about oil starvation during aggressive cornering. The vette dry sump set up is superior
