They should have compared the BS instead and it would have probably been closer.

Probably one of those rare moments but the driver (guy on the last pic) prefer the American car over the German car.

Definitely the SL 65 AMG!! Of course the Corvette is cheaper, but I would love to have such a powerful car as Convertible…

Well, but already the standard SL 65 AMG is much more expensive then the Corvette…and comparing the BS with the ZR1 - there could be only one winner, and that would be the Corvette!

And 80–120 km/h in just 1,9s is stunning - maybe I should vote for Corvette…but now it's to late.
