405 hp vs 350 hp... do you consider that close? Oh yeah, the Z06 weighs less also. Where is there a question?

The main reason is traction.At the track Z's do not fare so well because most drivers cant get them to hook up.From 30 mph it wouldnt be very close at all.

Nope you get pulled pretty good I know I have a 01 coupe and my buddy has a 04z. From a dig it's all me though since I'm a better driver from a dig. Of course on a closed course....I added full exhust, tune, intake so it should be alot better from a roll. We will find out soon enough.
