Handling Numbers
Since I just got the car people are impressed with the handling but when asking for numbers I really don't know what they are?
All I find googling around are the Z51 and Grand Sport (e.g. Z51 part deux). Anyone care to post a source that shows what it pulls on the skid pad slalom and whatnot???
Basically for the 2008-2013 years.

I don't even know what the Z51 and GS numbers are supposed to be, can you post them?
Of course, an accurate comparison would need to be done on the same skid pad and same day/temperature, but I'll take anything you got.

If I remember correctly, the '08 Z51 had a skid pad number of .95g and the Gs was up to 1.0g.

That's the best I could fine which kind of goes along with what you said.
Without pushing it too hard I got 0.93g the other day on the car's meter taking a "spirited" turn and it's a non-Z51 2010.
So if anyone's got better that'd be awesome for a source!

You should take those numbers with a grain of salt; road conditions, road camber, temperature, etc can make a huge difference either plus or minus. The next time, the car might slide off the road at a much lower number.
