I will disagree concerning shocks. Race teams spend a ridiculous amount of money on shocks and engineers to make them work in a forms of racing. Think about how much GM spent on various electronic shocks.

I'll say it again, the bigger challenge is to have a C4 equal power, and all other things and STILL be able to keep up, based on driver input.
Part of driving is the experience. Even a professional has their limits.
The feel of a c4 especially early c4 going in to the same corers, same speed, etc as a C7 ZR1 is 2x+ literally or more scary.
No stock c4 chassis will be able to, it's common sense. You might get a couple laps to be close, but the driver fatigue will soon set in.
I'd think if you look in the race section here you'll see 500-600+hp c4s with all the "racer" mods and c5s are killing them on road tracks. Just a guess....
Viper ACR and Corvette ZR1 might as well be 100 years newer than a c4 (even modified), it's the same difference.
VW's, Fieros, etc. make great kit cars of super car replicas, but they are not super cars even with better parts. Same way I see this topic.
