The colors are nice but if they're going to do a C7.R edition they should've gave it more enhanced track capabilities. When I read this I was thinking this would be something similar to what SRT did with the Viper, the ACR-X..

Trying to pass off 'stickers = faster' mentality again?
Any mechanical improvements?

Come on now!?
It has that fiber center section weight reduction!
It doesn't run on E85 like the C7R (yet?)!
Maybe there are some underlying performance features yet to evolve based on what is going on, or not, at The Ring! (Is GM limiting racing cars like those other guys? Don't want to be carrying too many warranties on such cars! We shall see!)

I'm surprised they didn't include a matching set of luggage.

Pretty weak. I would still pay $10K more for a Z that weighed 500# less, and they could keep the stuff they took off to boot. Something I did see in the link to the 2016 Z06 product information - the following headline. What "word" is missing?
"2016 CORVETTE Z06 IS THE MOST CAPABLE CORVETTE EVER"
