C6 Z06 is one of the fastest stock cars in the world if driven properly(at the limit). C7Z06 is going to be about 500 pounds heavier. That is a lot of extra weight to carry around even for the superior c7 suspension design compare to c6 platform. And too much power is not as important on the technical road course as much as other aspects in this game.
Thats why i said in my previous post that i dont think new Z will be much faster than c6 z06. We just have to wait and see.

Yes it is heavier, but the quicker times will come from the sum of all its parts.
GM officials have already stated the C7 Z06 delivers faster lap times than the out going ZR1. So I don't see it having a problem with the C6 Z06, unless they are lying. The ZR1 was almost 3 second quicker around VIR than the C6Z with Z07 package.
