It's 4 cylinders vs 8, of course the 4C Is going to lose to the Corvette.

True, But even its dry weight isnt that much, For such a teeny car, I highly doubt it will take 229lbs of liquids.

But it would be great if companys would just stop with dry weight, ALOT of people get confused, Getting all excited that there fav cars are far lighter then the competition when there not even close, I wish they would list dry weight, Curb weight, And weight with everything filled to the brim, And every optioned out weight. Cause lets be honest, There are what, Less then 10 actual manufactures that have there cars within 10kg of there cars claimed weight? Bentley, Aston Martin, Chevrolet and Saleen are the only manufactures who are even close to there claimed weight.

The 4C USA version weighs 2315# dry and around 2490# wet. 10.5 pounds per HP. The C7 Z51 1LT MT Vette weighs 3350#. 7.28 pounds per HP. On most tracks the Vette wins by minutes so "fastest by a small margin" is obviously "BS". The Vette
out preforms it in almost every category by a wide margin.

It would need around 300+hp to stand a chance

Depends on what track. But yeah - on most tracks it won't have any chance against something so much more powerful as the C7.
