Default C7.R and Z06 were co-developed
Tantalizing language from:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/articl...oit-auto-show/

"Chevrolet says the C7.R and Z06 were co-developed, and that both share a connection unrivaled by recent Corvette race cars and road cars."

If it is more or less a street legal C7R, then it's going to absolutely wreck other cars on the track.
