300 lbs is a lot but way closer than I would expect between GM's wonder car built with aluminum and carbon fiber vs the Camaro built off a steel sedan frame.
I believe GM claimed another 10-11 seconds off the 7.37 time but the Ring is also a massive track with plenty of places for cars with higher horsepower but less grip to gain ground.

Yeah, if the Z28 had posted 10-11 seconds better than the 7:37 time, I would have kept my nose out of this thread...lol. I have great respect for GM's massive effort to make not just a good track car of the Z28, but a great one...I'm proud of them.
