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.
In 2012 Road and Track did such a comparison.

Didn't compare tech too much, but did care laptimes
