That is overblown, imo/ime. Spring Mountain has never lost an engine, and they put 12-14K track/paddock miles on the cars, and replace them about every year. They are outside of Vegas in 100*+ weather.

A Grand Sport will never be a Z06. You can't change the CG of the car, and you are starting out about 100-150# heavier. It would take a LOT more stripping down and money, etc. to equal the Z06. The two cars feel totally different.
