The only difference I can see is brake packages. But those are easy since the brakes are interchangeable though the models. So my question is a serious one not trying to stir the pot but get an education.
IMO if they really wanted a track model they would get rid of all the heavy junk and have a delete option for the 10 speaker bose, navigation, on star and all that cr@p. Chevy needs to do to the vette what ford is doing for the mustang and compete with them at the clubsport level.

And even the rich ferrari guys convert their ccm brakes to steel for serious track duty so is there much difference?

Grand Sport = All C7 Z06 with the exception of the engine.

That's basically correct, although the MRC are set specifically for the Grand Sport.
I don't think that removing the speakers and the AC would save a ton of weight. This car would need a 400lbs diet and then it would be KILLER!
This videos is the same session posted above but with data (PDR).
(sorry no audio).

Absolutely fantastic car.
