You just repeated what I said without any counter facts to support your point. I already stated the Z feels more nimble which is due to it's lighter weight. Yet the ZL1 pulls as much if not more lateral Gs. The ZL1 trounced the 370Z on the Nurburgring and is up there with the big boys in time. Giving the Z the same power as the ZL1 isn't actually a good comparison either. A fair comparison would be to match hp/lb ratio. Do that and you have a very interesting battle.
In either case, you win with a C7 for the same price. I say get the Corvette.
