Yeah.......... we should rename it "About Sportier Corvette C-8s" or something.

Do wonder about Daytona 2021. Hope you're wrong, but won't bet on it. Really do prefer the races where they are with the 'big' cars. Traffic is everything in the IMSA races. BMW & Porsche being only a bit behind on the same lap took some of the sting out of the race for them. However, with their #2 cars being laps down must have hurt.
Road Atlanta should be good. Hope it stays dry (especially as I'm shooting a match in KY that weekend).

A new C8 Z06 would be awesome at Road Atlanta

Let's see if I can get this back to the OP. Yesterday I passed a camouflaged Vette with what looked like wide body panels and a ugly spoiler. I wonder if this is the next Z-06. I was behind a similar one without the spoiler a couple of weeks ago.

Flat plane crank V8. That should sound nice. Ford GT350 Voodoo makes some nice sounds. The magic resides in flat plane cranks and equal length headers and I don't think anything sounds quite as good as Ferrari (back in the day and not nearly as good anymore) https://youtu.be/AN1alyW4tVE
