To see the Vette edging so much on a GT3 RS' lap time is simply staggering... espeicially condidering that the GT3 RS has a roll cage, is completely gutted, and has DOT Legal racing slicks on; of of which, the Z06 doesn't have.

If you're referring to the 996 GT3 RS, don't forget about the extra 120 hp the Z06 has on it's side. BTW, are you implying that the roll cage provides the driver with extra confidence, or that the slight improvement in torsional rigidity makes all the difference?
A better reference for NS times will be when the 997 GT2 debuts. It should have similar power and more weight than the Z06. However, I would guess that it's lap time will approach the CGT's, getting very close to a 7:30. This would put it over 10s/lap faster than the Z06's rather questionable time with Jan Mag (i.e. what is Dan Hill's time for the Z06??).
The 997 GT2 should be able to wipe it in a straight line as well. I know, it will cost a lot more...
