Right, and Z06 is not meant to be a contentless track day car. Its to be much more than that. They could utilize items from that program such as thinner glass, but you can't go yanking out the A/C, sound system, or too much sound buffering material either. Not if you want it to compare favorable against those cars in that eschelon, in a content and ride quality pov, anyway. Those of us who are more performance minded wouldn't care if NVH is out of control as long as it's amazingly fast, but those "non-enthusiasts" who buy in that market tend to look at that sort of thing and GM needs to keep the vehicle somewhat civil or they'll end up in the position Dodge did with Viper, a great car, but no manners vs other cars in its market.
