The only track most of these cars will ever see is a quarter mile or the open road between traffic lights. In that regard, it makes alot of sense to make the upgraded suspension, etc an option. Horsepower bragging rights and quarter mile times in this class is what most people truly want.


Exactly what I've been saying. On the streets, straight line performance is really all that matters and is how the cars will be judged by 99% of the masses. So they can tout that the ZL1 can handle so good blah blah blah but it won't matter to the majority of the streeted car.
