I wouldn't say I am ignoring it, but rather taking it with a grain of salt.
It is a forced induction car going up against a normally aspirated car. The Z06 is just a different breed, it is more of a GT3 competitor. You could sub in a GT3 or GT3 RS in that video and I'd still have the same reaction...who cares. I'd expect a $380k forced induction car to win what is essentially a straight line race.
Z06 is quite impressive, I don't really get how people can still hate on the Corvette. Would I buy one no, not my style...but I certainly respect the hell out of what GM has built. Building the most powerful mass-produced NA V8 ever is no easy task to be honest. The entire package seems to be performing very well.
