So you think the C6 would've done better if it was manual, not sequential manual
?

The GT absolutely destroyed the C6. That was an impressive sight.

The Sequential Manual / 6MT = same rwhp on a dyno, and the sequential manual will have an advantage at those speeds!

I don't know about Corvette and their system tho ?

Compare it to the Z06 and CGT.

That's a 996 (previous generation) GT3, not a 997 GT3. Those aren't out yet. They were rated at 375 hp, but dyno quite a bit higher (usually in the high 350-low 360 range) and rips off low 12's.

The CGT would decimate a Z06 as well.

Wonder how those Pcars compare to this?
LPE C6

I think it is ridiculous that you guys are comparing the C6 to cars that cost 8X as much as the C6. Both the CGT and GT3 are obviously great cars. Here is the Corvette you can buy for 10K less than a new GT3 and 300K less than CGT. Probably a slightly better outcome for the C6. The paddle shifter on the C6 is NOT sequential, it is simply a 6sp auto with paddles.

it's ok to compare the vette i guess, just goes to show what class of cars they're competitive with despite their price tag. that says a lot

Vettes are awesome cars for the money. esp. the c6zo6.

also note that the c6zo6 can beat any current production porsches in the straightline acceleration and most on the track as well except for the cgt. even the gt2 is no match in the straights or track. source: 6speedonline.
