Gary Sheehan's WRX VS a Z06 on a lap around the track. Nice side by side video. I like how snarly his WRX is. http://www.teamsmr.com/movies/Z06vsWRXSmall.wmv
If that video says ANYTHING to the viewer, it's that the Z06 is damned impressive and not even an econobox with more than the Z06's price invested into it can impressively beat one.
For sure, I couldn't believe how close they were... I knew the corvette had more power but I thought for sure the race car would be able to beat it in braking.
Or at least handling, with all that was done to that car. Sheesh, I guess a subpar platform will never be able to hang with that "leaf-spring suspended, pushrod-powered" Corvette.
