[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 16267788, member: 155561"] I don't think you're taking into account the mechanical grip advantages of a mid engine platform. Didn't Chevy advertise the C8 hitting ~1.0G on a skid pad on all seasons... The Alpha chassis is good, sure, but there's nothing magic about the ZL1 1LE other than some decently big and sticky tires + a ton of horsepower. Even so, big and sticky tires are not much of an equalizer to just a superior platform. We saw this with virtually stock S550 cars running all over decently modified S197 cars because of the IRS improvement. I'd be willing to bet a Z51 is at least pretty even with a Zl1 1LE, if not faster. I do agree that at the end of the day though it's almost always a driver's race. [/QUOTE]
