I think the corvette would have won out of 4th gear.

If I'm the dude in the Vette I'm pissed.

Give me some competition. At least he got his times.

That was such a unfair race, but I think the WRX had a terrible driver, The WRX should have been quicker than that, still no Z06 though

Honestly, I'm starting to feel that V8 owners are going to get that way with the Camaro. Most of the competition is in the 300-hp range, making the V6 the more competitive car. Those of us that want to build monster Camaros might actually have more fun building the LLT because there will be more cars to race in that bracket.

I'm also fairly sure that anyone who races a Z06 is lacking in mental capacity.

I think your sentence needs some work.

And no, the Z06 was not slow.
