Carlos, you should check out the Motortrend article on this track comparison. It's pretty interesting. First of all it includes the Porsche Turbo S. Some things really stand out.

The Z/28 is a staggering track weapon that beat both the the GT-R and Porsche Turbo S on a hot lap. Not by much, only 0.3 between them, but still No. 1.

It's also the least expensive as tested, by a lot. $76k vs. $117k vs. $199k

The Z depends quite a bit on its tires and brakes and the tires must be up to temp before they really work. The low vs. high speed through the turns of the circuit were 100% correlated: the Z had the highest corner speeds and lowest straight line speeds, the Porsche exactly opposite, and the GT-R exactly in the middle.

Basically the Z is a factory Gentlemen's racer and incredible value. If you can drive, you'll be able to beat cars way more expensive than yours on a track But it will get skull fucked on the street by the other two in typical point to point jerking off, street legal drags, etc.. The differences in straight line are enormous. And that considering the Z is on 60 tread ware vs. the Porsche's 220 tread ware (as tested).
