While the 6th Gen chassis is light years ahead of the 5th Gen one, I think the increased HP/TQ numbers have also greatly contributed to the faster Ring lap time of the ZL-1...

It isn't just power. Not that simple. Everything on the car has been upgraded, better brakes, lightning quick 10-speed transmission, upgraded magneride, new electronic diff, lighter by 220lbs, etc. Like you said the Gen6 chassis is a vast improvement. It definitely is the sum of its parts.

If that's the case, I don't believe that the Z/28 will improve on it's time as much as the ZL-1 did. I speculate that the Z/28's time will be close to what the ZL-1 put down, albeit with less HP and TQ...and maybe weight.

Power plant is still rumors, no one knows. It could just be the LT4.
The Z28 will be quicker than the 2017 ZL1. The car is getting a huge aero treatment, which will shave seconds off at the ring. It won't need the hp, shave 300lbs+ off ZL1, add carbon ceramics, huge aero, ditch magneride for spool valve shocks, lighter wheels, more tire, stickier compound. Z28 is going to be the ultimate GM track package.
Look at this thing, GM is not f*cking around with this car.
