I wonder you guys just compared these cars.

"Chevy has to work hard to win this battle"

Sheesh.. I'm pretty sure GM management doesn't even remember what an F1 is.

Interesting comparison, I'm surprised the Corvette ZR1 beat the McLaren F1 at anything, so I'm not at all disappointed, I knew the F1 would be faster, but speed isn't everything.
