Yes, the Z06 is also designed aerodynamically to go that fast. The Z is not. I think that the Z will need more power to reach those speeds. When you get into the 180's, things like flat underpanels start making a big big difference. Also you're saying that 500hp will only possibly get it to 190mph. Those last 10MPH can very well take an extra 100hp from the engine..
