Not saying that the Z/28 is the ideal car, just that you can see the effect of having a better chassis to start with.

You chose the wrong 911 to use as an example. As great as the Z28 is, it isn't spanking the Turbo S around a track or in a straight line. Randy's got 2+ sec on the Z28 around Laguna.
Independent testing, SportAuto just did the ring in 7:34 in the new 911 Carrera S. These new turbo base 911's are serious.
Porsche said in the new 991.2 Turbo S press release, it does the ring in 7:18. That is mega quick.
