Prolly cuz it was comparing cars of the same year? The funny part is the Corvette keeps winning most of these battles. The Ford GT is beating Ferarri in most of their comparrisons [In the end though they pick the Ferarri because its a "nicer ride"]

The Z06 will be in there taking out the comp soon, and legal mumbo is what pisses me off!

Great drivers! It's good to see those guys driving American cars and NOT bashing them for once!

There is a Top Gear review of the SRT-10 around too. One of the most obvious statements they make about it is "With 8.3 liters european manufacturers could get a damn sight more than 500 hp out of it."

I agree. One thing I like abouty American engines is that they are bigger than nessesary allowing for boost or higher comp instead of being maxed out from the factory. The Dodge V-10 is a ******* pig though.

Those two cars were definetly bad ***! One thing though, dont you guys think that for the money and the price, the vette is the best choice? For a 8.3 L V10 i was hoping the SRT-10 would really smoke the C6. Anyways i reallly like both cars

Yeah, that's pretty much your first sign of "maxing out".
