But, make no bones about it, the guys who got the $$$ for those cars AND are gearheads in their own right & like to actually USE THEM AS INTENDED - well, they certainly won't like getting lapped by a C8 @ englishtown. Not one bit. This C8 is much MUCH different animal & its not fair to compare prior gens by saying "yeah the other high end vettes were fast too but doesn't matter bla blah" - NO it DOES matter, because they've essentially removed ALL the limiting performance factors that kept the car from not simply inching out exotics white knuckling @ 9.9/th's on a track fighting the traction starved light rear end or speed limited shifting of a traditional manual or TC auto and possibly adding AWD wouldn't just result in a performance car that fights above its weight class admirably & euro exotic fans begrudgingly admit its extremely fast/capable "for a vette" - nah, if they truly do what I'm talking about for the Z06 and/or ZR1 or some combo they won't be inching out GT4s & Aventadors, they'll be stomping em.AMG & M cars won't even be in the discussion, period.Watch</blockquote>
