Upgrading to carbon brakes would be fine.

I think an article has been done before to compare the off the lot version of the Corvette vs the race version. But that was years ago. It would be REALLY interesting to see what the current crop of GTE/GTLM drivers could do lap time using an off the lot with all the options corvette compared to the IMSA spec version at one of the tracks they go to.
I think they are hedging the GTLM cars back too far from their street counterparts, with respect to power anyway.

For whatever it is worth, Randy Pobst did a 1:33.005 in a Z06 and a 1:33.29 in a 991 GT3 at Laguna Seca last year. Qualifying times were 1:23.39 and 1:23.96 respectively for their GTLM versions this year.
