It amazes me how blind many seem to be to the whole weight issue. 400+ lbs is a huge big deal on a car. It really affects how the car handles not just its power to weight ratio. Even the Z has been chastized about its weight - the GTR as well. Nissan did a fantastic job shaving weight off - unfortunately there was a lot of regulations (saftey first of course) that added most of that weight back on. I'd rather have the 100 lbs lighter car than another 10HP...
Its just a big bench racing thread anyhow - how can you compare results on a pre-production car. You can vastly affect numbers by just changing the tires. There will be no comparisons until the car is actually released....
Its nice to see the racing technology coming down to these cars. I mean the ZR1 is an amazing car as is the GTR - super cars within reach. Now the Z is hanging with the Cayman S and even the $250K DB9 is very close in performance. If the Camaro is in the same class that's pretty cool that auto technology has come so far.
....regardless there is some interesting commentary and generally speaking most ppl are respectful. Nice to see
