The FIA cars are in no way shape or form related to the cars that Team Corvette runs at LeMans. Looks like you need to stop assuming what you think the OP meant and answer the question he asked not the one you want to hear....

The Euro GT3 cars are Z06R's built from actual street cars by Callaway competition in Germany. They are for sale for about $800,000 complete. Callaway also builds the GT4 Corvettes...from standard C6's.
This is not unusual , for example Prodrive has sold their Aston Martins and before that their Ferrari 550GT's to other teams. No everyone can afford the latest cars. The rules of the classifications determine the origins of the cars. Even the C6.R GT-1 cars use plenty of Chevrolet knowhow, they are just farther from a street car than a GT4 car. Corvette has basically been the best GT car in the world since the C5 came out. The record speaks for itself.
BTW there will be a couple of European teams running Corvettes in GT2 next year , as well as in the upcoming FIA World GT series.
As others have stated in this thread...it's best not to talk about what you don't know about.

When I think of "Z06" together with "FIA," I don't automatically think of the C6.R that was raced in GT1 class. That car (if I'm correct) is based on a steel chassis, so is perhaps more properly classified as a very heavily modified C6. That would leave the Z06 raced in FIA GT3 class, officially referred to as Z06.R, which retains the alloy chassis of the roadgoing Z06.

You keep bringing up the Pratt & Miller LeMans/GT1 cars acting like the FIA GT3 cars don't exist. Again, even though that is what the OP seems to have asked about. I answered his questions and you seem to have a problem with that. Look at this link, "road car chassis", road car engine, tranny and clutch"
