Haven't read the Z06 specs but I'm wondering if the new Z06 is like the old one, in that the carbon-ceramic brakes were optional? It they're an option on the new Z06, how much do they cost? I'd like to see a "like-for-like" comparison that's as accurate as possible.

I'm also curious about how many Z06s will be produced for this year, since the dealers I interact with act like they're going to be rarer than hen's teeth. If you can't even really get a Z06, then their pricing is going to get elevated -- which impacts the Z/28 comparison.

In reality, I suspect the cars are so different that few people would cross-shop. The Z/28 is a dinosaur (427 N.A. V-8 + 6-speed manual) that went to finishing school at the Ring (carbon-ceramic brakes, Multimatic suspension). The Z06 is an entirely different animal. I'll be interested to see just how different the lap times are, though I suspect the Z06 will have a suspension and chassis that are the equal of the Z/28 -- plus more power & torque with less weight. Kudos to Chevy for making so many excellent choices for track duty!
