@gallardo man yep Corvettes have always been very fast ever since Zora Arkus Duntov changed the direction of Corvette away from just being a stylish two seater. My complaint with the newer models is that the interior wasn't as nice as some of its more expensive rivals, and the cars don't have enough ground clearance to avoid scraping the air dam over any road irregularities.

i really learned somthing today. CORVETTES ARE LOW PRICED, FAST MACHINES WITH REAR WHEEL DRIVE SLIDING ACTION. i did not think this car was so fast.

The tables turn a bit when you compare the latest Superleggera to the latest Z06: https://fastestlaps.com/comparisons/chevrolet_corvette_z06_carbon-vs-lamborghini_gallardo_lp_570-4_superleggera.html

this was a good match up, but most credit should go to the corvette for doing EXTREMLY well vs this superleggera. i was very surprized in this fight the gallardo acually won. the superleggera is my new favorite car. still, corvette zr1 eats the superleggera, but the gallardo superleggera still can beat a f430 and compete with the f430 scuderia.
