I think weight distribution comes into play too.
F12: 47/53 weight distribution, 2122 lbs over the rear wheels
Z06: 49/51 weight distribution, 1683 lbs over the rear wheels
So not only does the Z06 have a better power-to-weight ratio, but it has less weight over the rear wheels.
But it is a good point to bring up the F12 because I haven't seen any reviews mentioning an inability to put power to the ground.

Agree with you completely. I think they have seriously thought about the aero on these cars. The z06 aero looks like the c7R. For a road car that's something. Tire technology has also come leaps and bounds with road cars coming with near slicks. To think that the little ford hatchbacks have a .90 + skid with ok tires. Not to mention the LC and other electronics that modulate power.
