[Prototype240]

Good info...I'd like to see some corvette numbers on neurburgring myself. But you're missing the definition of 'refined.' Yes, they put down similar accel/top speed numbers.

But look at the power output vs. displacement and then look at those times again. The Ferrarri is faster with a two cylinder, 100PS, and 5000! cc disadvantage, and only it's only 100kg lighter than the Viper. That's the refinement I speak of. Any joe-schmoe can throw a huge displacement v-10 or v-12 in a chassis and make ridiculous power and have half decent lap times. But to do it with a V8, less than half the displacement, and still come out on top....that's classy.
