Before you dump a bunch of money on the new ZO6 stuff, you might want to research it on the Corvette boards. There are more than a few Vette owners having a terrible time with those brakes at track events. Pads are very epensive, too, and there is just the OEM street compound available. They're ok for the street and very light track (or end of the dragstrip type stuff), but that's on a car much lighter than yours. If might be worth your while to call up some brake manufacturers and see what they can do for you. Regular C5 brakes might be a better option because the pad choice is huge.
From what I've read at Corner-Carvers (whose members include many instructors), you'll need to make sure you're very open to learning at the track. I don't think any instructor will be comfortable with you going anywhere near that fast your first time out - and if you do so against their wishes, you'll be done.
