In the case the Z51 in the C5,6,7 as far as acceleration goes just gives you a little bit shorter gear ratio good for a tenth or two I would expect about the same. The Z51 is keyed more for shaving track times and promoting racing longevity and not so much cutting lower drag strip numbers. We’ll see if the C8 follows Z51 suit.
Also the C6, C7 Z51 package was only an increase of about 5k, I doubt the new version will increase that to high 70’s all other thing being equal. I would venture to guess in the same ballpark maybe 1-2k more then the prior Z51 cost.
The LT packages is what really drives prices higher.
