You = 7.43
You without sound deadener =7.3

Mustang GT500 = 7.4
Ferrari 612 = 7.2
Audi R8 V10 = 6.9
Dodge Viper SRT-10 = 6.7
Ferrari F430 = 6.6
Chevy Corvette Z06 = 6.3
Ferrari 599 GTB = 6.2
Chevy Corvette ZR1 = 5.3
Bugati Veyron 16.4 = 4.2
Ariel Atom = 3.7

All of them are production stock cars. The list goes on for quite a while (that's probably only about 1/10th of them). While most of them are more expensive then what you have one could argue that a Miata with an LS3 would have cost you less then half the price, would have been perfectly streetable and would have a power to weight of 5.4.

At 550rwhp, his crank hp should be about 632 hp at the crank (87% efficiency), so his weight to power is 3850/632 = 6.09. He's starting to look pretty fast...

C6Z: 3150/505 = 6.23... yep, that's a fast SS.
