Just read the entire article- ZO6 had a slipping clutch and bad 2nd gear syncro, but yet still beat the Mustang in acceleration tests, and was behind a little on the road course. Put the same tires on each car, and I’d love to see that test again, fixed clutch and tranny of course. ---

I agree. I saw my first Cobra R in person earlier this year… looks like a really cool car, but the Corvettes seem much more “driveable” if you know what I’m saying. I’d rather have a fast car that is comfortable. ---

Yes, but I like the rarity of the car, Ive seen 1 in my life, as compared to hundreds of Z06’s, and it will always hold its value.
