^^^ yea
the new seven speed trannies that BMW and MB are coming out with make a helluva difference. the slk55 is faster than the corvette in the quarter, but slower to 60. gearing is what makes our s2k fast compared to other cars in its class that have more power (and a weight advantage).

I can't think of a single car in that class that has more power and less weight (stock). Can you name one?

Weight difference (not that it's a big factor in this race) is within 600lbs.
so now a 600 pound weight difference has no bearing on performance?



the M6 and C6 Z06 are probably equal straight line runners....

Why would that be -- the M6 weighs around a thousand pounds more than the new Z06 which has a flatter torque curve.

Old Z06 = 996 Turbo < New M6 < New Z06 > (* < $250,000)
