Corvette paint is extremely hard and needs some seriously abrasive polishes and pads (Meguiar's 105 compound+compounding pad) to do any real correction. The Z should be much more sophisticated though, welcome to the club!

Welcome welcome. Congrats with your new Z car!

Here is the last picture I took of my c6. Hard to see the imperfections but they are there.

I would take a picture of my Z if I could get it out of the garage. 14+" of snow and still falling!

Cannot take pictures of the Z due to all the snow here in Missouri. I picked up a brilliant silver with black leather.

According to Road&Track the current performance pecking order is as follows:

Chevrolet Corvette Z06
405hp
0-60: 4.4 seconds
1/4 mile: 12.7 @ 115.2 mph
60-0 Braking: 107ft.
Slalom: 70.2mph.

I so often wonder why the slalom tests show the same ,similar, or better speeds do not seem to be 'wrung out', by real world drivers. The OP's feels that the Z handles better. I bet it does. Or is it just that some cars must be driven be the "Stig" to get full potential, and cars like the Z are easily driven?

Mustangs post better times than my 300ZX tt, yet never once did any muscle car ever pose a challenge to it. Damned 335i did.

To the OP, Nele22, welcome. I too would love to see a write up in a few weeks between the two sports cars.
