Did anyone feel the Z06 driver was a better driver?

Yes. Sometimes it was just traffic, but I felt like the P1 lines were pretty far from ideal on a lot of those curves.

Yeah, and it seemed like he braked really early even though that thing FOR SURE has more stopping power than the Z06

Except when he overshot the braking zone.

That might be an example of his unfamiliarity with the track. I imagine with a car that powerful, it can be a little intimidating if you aren't familiar.

The only time I've ever driven the Z on a track (was at COTA), I felt like no one was braking hard at all - like I should be able to get twice as close to turn-in before braking in almost every curve but especially Turns 1, 11 and 12. Of course, it was the Nismo Performance Academy. So lots of non-track drivers.

Oh no doubt.

I'd probably be a late-braker too. But you flirt with disaster when you do that, lol. If you nail it, you're golden though.

might have had better knowledge of the track?

then again money doesn't mean you're a better driver lol just because he can afford 1.2 mil doesn't mean he knows how to handle it

I would expect a GM guy that buys a Z06 to be more competent over the common dude who can afford a P1

I agree.

is that video from the Z06's on board recording software or is that third party set up added to a video?

can't remember what the standard Z06 data recording stuff looked like.

Pretty sure that's the onboard/GM data recording.
