Genuine supercar comparison. The Pagani is much more exotic and expensive. I think it is beautiful. I am impressed that the ultimate expression of the C6 platform can legitimately compete with the uber exotic Pagani. Mario Andretti owns a C6 Corvette ZR1 with a Magnaflow exhaust. I have spoken with him twice at his winery in Napa. He is a soft spoken and charming man. He lives in Pennsylvania, nice guy.

LOL the ZR1 smoked a car 6 or 7 times its price. So much for all the bella italia bullshit.
