my neighbor just brought home a new Z06.....i think he owes me a ride for letting him borrow my trailer.

i noticed that he seemed to have the best lines while driving the Z06. could be completely radom though. i would buy a Z06 WAY before any of the others, completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 will cost you 2x as much.

Cool vid, but his lines in the Ford GT and especially the Viper were pretty nasty. How can you compare lap times when you're missing apexes on a small track by multiple feet?

Yeah, I don't get it. No doubt in my mind that the Z06 is faster around that track than both of them though, even in all-things-equal conditions.

The vid kinda left me with the feeling that the lap times he was hitting was more HIS personal limit, not the limit of the cars.
