The Z06 may be a decent track toy, if you are ready to forfeit your warranty and pay exorbitant track insurance. However, I bet it won't achieve its advertised performance even on track, if we go by a regular C8 which has trouble outperforming heavy porkers such as M3/M4, and in carwow tests is no faster than a regular Cayman S. That's a common theme with Corvettes: they are almost always slower in real life.
Also as a daily driver the new Z06 will be an impractical overkill, too wide to efficiently thread through traffic, and borderline useless in winter due to extremely wide tires. And it doesn't offer a manual transmission, which means less driver engagement, which ultimately means less fun. So from my admittedly limited perspective the new Z06 is far from "changing the entire industry" as some claim, because for many enthusiasts cars like Cayman 4.0 MT6 and Emira V6 MT6 offer far more compelling and enjoyable daily driver experience.
