well.... rolls is closer to 5,577 lbs---> 2,529 kg... not exactly close to rolls... but still... it reads GVWR... and says nothing about maximums...
confusing... but to me, that would explain why a 500 hp gallardo has trouble out gunning a 400 hp corvette... not to mention, its lowly 1/4 mile times of 12.5 from that year (http://www.autofacts.ca/classics/fast.htm) and a 405 hp Z06 does it in 12.3 seconds... and the C6Z is @ 11.5...
