What rebuttal?
"it's still a corvette" is a typical fanboy, benchracer, wannabe, camry driving losers answer BTW - Which Ferrari does he drive?
Facts are facts.
62lbs/hp - the number is just another in a long stream of numbers that validate how the C6 Z06 is just continuing what the C5 Z06 started 5 years ago.
The fact that eye-ball squashing performance was now available for "ordinary folks" pisses all the wanna-be posers off no end.
Must suck to be a supporter of something "just for the image"
Those numbers again:
sub 3.6ish-s 0-60 - 11.6ish-s 1/4 mile @ 125mph+, 7m42s Northloop, 200mph top speed - and all this for $65,000USD

Whoa. That's a lot of hostility to a guy with an opposing view. I would think that a moderator would show a little more respect and maturity.

Not one iota of hostility. the Relpy is peppered with smiling emoticons.
He can have any opposing view he wants. It is after all his view, right or not
The numbers - they don't lie.
There was once a time when Ferraris had more than image to carry their street cars to the top of the performance heap - sadly those days are gone
Again - the numbers speak for themselves

I'd like to point out that while it's very impressive it's not the only factor, especially when the numbers are that close. For example, the F430 is apparently noticably quicker in a straightline than a Gallardo, yet the power to weight is worse.

RC, RC, RC u disappoint me there m8...u KNOW that corvette has way less wins, even if u only count 911's and not all-out race cars, than porsche. for the record porsche won the Le Mans 24 hours outright 16 times, 1 of those being 911 (1978 935 was 911-derived) and the number of class victories in Le Mans...i think they stopped counting at 40 or so and how many does corvette have? 4? 5?
and in case u say only the current generation counts...i believe porsche has won the GT2 class ever since the 996 started racing on le mans, which was probably in '98 or so...

Gucom, Gucom, Gucom - you disapoint me there m8... you do the typical "ricer fly by move"....
It is obvious that when one considers the Corvette is a SINGLE car not a manufacturer, that the comparison would be to the class entered and races run since the model in quesiton was conceived
Nice try though
