It's not the car it's the driver.

Id guess the vette f'ed up the launch, dont let it discourage you its the driver nto the car. The Vette is faster, hand down no arguements.

IRS makes the launch suck, add to that the novice driver that was likely behind the wheel and you get horrible times. It's no big deal, don't lose faith. . .

Yeah if you can afford it go with the vette, you can give an idiot a 10 second car doesnt mean hes going to run 10's with it

The Vette needs the driver mod. Both being stock the Vette is faster
