The Corvette. Less weight better areo dynamics and slightly better gearing.

Vette...youd haveta save for some mods......youd havea like rip out half your interior...and loose some weight to knock it doewn to there weight...

aerodynamically they are great handling cars with nice top speeds however, but they are really low with a lowered center gravity. thats where the WS6 benefits....so really i would think its a batle of weight...and skill

just my .02
