Re: Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR-1 vs. Competition
My choice is quite simply:



Sure the ZR-1 will likely put down the best numbers, but I want the best made, most stylish, most well rounded driving experience wrapped around an interior that is to die for choice of this group. The Ferrari.

Re: Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR-1 vs. Competition
SLR for me please,a true design icon

Weird to see it 7 seconds faster than 599GTB around N-ring,and GT-R is truly a great car and a freaking bargain

It is not. Those times in the first post mixes factory times with SportAuto times. Sport Auto time for SLR is only 7:52 (vs 7:47 for 599).

Re: Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR-1 vs. Competition
It's ridiculous how cheap the GT-R is.

My choice, just cause even I could maybe afford one, some day

Re: Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR-1 vs. Competition
Putting the SLR in there wasn't fair

Based on emotional appeal, I'd take the SLR in a heartbeat:






Based on raw power and visceral driving experience, it'd be the ZR-1:




And based on the 'I'm-better-than-you-and-you-know-it' side that's in all of us, the LP640:




The ZR-1 and SLR would definitely contend for first place, and the LP640 would run a very close second
