And we arent talking about coilovers and such, we are talking about bone stock cars. If this is the case your telling me that the GT500 could run within 3 seconds of the Z06 at the ring like the turbo did as well.


I could care less about which car is better but when it comes to track performance stock vs stock there is no comparison drag racing or road racing.

Not only that there is no chance in hell the Z06 beat the GT3 by almost 4 seconds. Not to mention the GT3 looked like it had huge wheels on it and the tires DO NOT look like MPSC's.
