I would go, but that early sounds too much like going to work. I might ride my motorbike over later and cruise the lot. I can always park it on a curb or something.

If you have ever raced against one in any venue, you know a Z06 is an awsome car. They can be beat, but it is not easy. I don't prefer 'vettes, but I certainly respect them.

No offense, but I wouldn't call those corner weights ideal.

Mine are:

LF= 652 lb / RF = 648 lb

LR= 817 lb / RR= 819 lb

Set with 150 lb weight in drivers seat.
