There are some significant HP sections though, so **IF** Chevy puts some real brakes on it the HP should make a big difference, yes. But it also needs to be lighter and stiffer, and maybe have some aero downforce. An actual performance alignment would help a ton too. Hell, if they just sent C6Z06’s out of the factory with a good alignment and Pilot Sport Cup tires (ala GT3) they’d be several seconds faster around the ring with no other changes (_IF_ the brakes could keep up with the tires). -TJ --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-z06-vette-to-be-called-the-zr1/192251)._
