A "stripped out" Z06 would be 100kg's lighter and if built with the same razor edge of the GT3-RS

According to Porsche's German site, the base Carrera is 1395 kg, and the GT3 RS is 1375 kg (i.e. a difference of 20 kg - compared to the 100 kg difference on the vette that you're suggesting). The GT3 RS is not 'stripped out'. What ever weight was removed, was replaced with things like a cage, rear wing, fire extinguisher, etc. to make it better suited for track work. In other words, it was engineered for it's intended application, not just stripped out by some 'tuners'.
Furthermore, Porsche didn't switch from a steal to an aluminum chassis like the vette designers did. In addition, for what it's worth, Porsche will make money on every GT3 RS they sell, whereas GM might as well fill those golf bags with cash, in the back of every Z06 they manage to sell...

Well evo timed the CGT around their Bedford circuit originally at a 1:19.70, whereas the Z06 came in at 1:24.45. So, I think you're dreaming.
