Car yes...but I also own a turbo hayabusa with 490 rwhp. It will run out of sight from this car. I mostly street ride it but occasionally take it to the drag strip in Bristol Tenn. 7.30s at 196-200mph 1/4 mile

NO 
This "V6" is a 9 second "street car" on drag radials with air, tilt wheel, etc. and the 9 second 1/4 is with the boost turned down on an easy 0 boost launch (1.46 60 ft.) I really don't know how fast this home made V6 is.

No. New Z will arrive to live next to my Lingenfelter ZR1.

No. My '13, Hennessey supercharged 427 with a dyno number of almost 750HP (737 in August in Tex.) will live next to it and I think is faster, but then who cares??? My 114HP '90 Miata is faster on an autocross track and my '08 supercharged Roush F150 Nitemare (#9 of 100 built) will pull down a house. You will never have the fastest vehicle, there will always be someone faster, especially here. Oh, maybe a Bugatti, Veyron, super sport, but they cost about 2,000,000, plus options and dealer delivery charge.

What's amazing and scary at the same time is the vast majority of Corvette forum members so far, have or had faster cars!
This will be a new experience for me, and I'm delighted to have a car that puts out 650/650 at the fly wheel, and come with a 5yr 100K mile drivetrain warranty.
I could bump up my 427 to equal performance, and improve the interior, but not at the current asking price of the Z, not having the benefit of ELSD, DI, electronic steering, improved Michelin sports, and still have a 100K warranty! The decision became a lot easier!
