So how unforgiving is the sebring road surface for a C6Z on stock suspension. Am I going to be battling the rear of the car the whole time?

Sebring is a little bumpy but for a street car you won't know much of a difference between it and any other track except for a couple of spots. No big deal just have fun!

It's pretty hard on brakes. Bring extra parts and check before day two.

Hope to make it out to a Chin event at Sebring later this year. It's got to cool off a bit for me. Have fun!
