... as much as the "anti-Amreican car" group hate to admit - the Z06 was designed as a road race car first, drag race car second.
Z06's in the SCCA T-1 field.

This from a "Racers Diary" thread on the Z06Vette forum.
Moving up in the field was much harder from that point forward as each car was progressively faster. It took me about three laps to get by Mark Boden in his GT3. At Mid-Ohio, the GT3 was matched up very well with the Z06. I was clearly faster, but it wasn’t in the places I could pass. He could get out of the slow speed corners better than me, maybe because of gearing, as he pulled out a car length or two on the first half of each straight. I’d make up the difference in the second half the straight, but his GT3 was fantastic under braking. I finally dove inside him into turn 7 on lap 8.
