The Corvette also has less weight, more power, more downforce, more grip and better brakes. With the Z07 stage 3 aero, it went through turns faster but gave up speed on the straights. With the aero taken off, they gained speed on the straights but lost grip through the turns.
Also, the GTR NISMO is not twice as much. The Z06 as tested was over $100k. Not to mention, the Corvette is supposed to be a bargain super car.
The Z06 got beat fair and square. We shouldn't be making excuses and I sure as hell hope GM isn't.
