Are you KIDDING me? The 400hp C6 is embarrassing cars that cost 2x as much. That's not even '08 model with 436hp, lighter wheels, better trans, and more precise steering feel!
The Z06.....well what can you say? They may need to bring out the Enzo or Carrera GT to hang with that. The 'Vettes also come with crappy runflat tires which makes their performance even more amazing. Can you imagine what the 650+hp Blue Devil is going to do????
The Mustang GT500 is also within spitting distance (0.1) of the $130,000 911 Turbo!!!
A $40k Mustang running as fast as a $130k 911?
