So we didn't take the number one spot, but still some seriously surprising results. Numbers after the jump.

Viper T/A that close to the Nismo GTR? With RWD and a manual no less?! Also faster than the F12.

Z/28 faster than a Turbo S?! Once again with only RWD and a manual.

C7 Vette faster than the R8 V10+ and the Jag XKR-S GT, cars with 100hp more.

Speaking of 100hp more, the XFR-S only barely beats the CTS V Sport. Cant wait until the all out V version of that car.

Not to mention all of these cars are, by a large amount, cheaper then their competitors. Source: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (not plus). Feeling patriotic is a good way to end the night.

Thanks again denver for the burnout gif.

"Oh, you spent 9 years developing a car with computers so advanced that even a druken 7 y/o could get round the 'Ring quickly? We just put a bigger engine in, and politely requested our owners learn to drive. That wasn't so hard now, was it?"

(I don't hate computerized cars, but for some reason I sort of dislike the new GTR)

I honesty feel the Z06 will be on top that list.

What is the price difference between an F12 Berlinetta and a Z/28?

Agreed, the R35 GTR does nothing for me. Not even a wiggle down there.

Damn, didn't even notice how close those are. But there is a quarter million dollar price difference. Not to mention the Camaro is down 230hp too.

so a quarter of a million dollars gets you 0:00.1 seconds quicker, and automatic trans, and some nice leather?..... no thanks

Seriously though, there is a team of engineers who took a $23k coupe, based off a decade old sedan and made it as fast as the Ferrari F12. They deserve a damn bonus.
