At nearly 200 more HP I would have expected more of a difference. Ah well.

HP, not torque. Torque is the same so I'm sure there is a give and take as the Z06 needs rpm's to achieve that HP. I'm no engineer, but I can see there could be underlying arguments here.

Sounded to me like the Z wasn't having any problem achieving rpm's.

Z06 looks like a beast for light to light challenges.

As above. Do I need to remind you of what HP is? lol
There is a difference between a car with higher torque and less HP and a car with higher HP with lower torque.

best way to measure TQ is not peak, but area under the curve
here is a dyno sheet that shows both a Stingray (green) and a Z06 (blue)

Carroll Shelby said “Horsepower sells cars, and torque wins races.”
