I happen to own a 2012 Challenger SRT8 and a 2002 Corvette. Both are 6 speeds since I like to control the gears myself. There is no comparison between the two. I get asked quite a bit. I can't put 5 people in my Vette. I can in my Challenger and it still gets up and goes. They both have their uses, but they are totally different ideas. The Challenger is a muscle car and the Vette is a sports car. My Challenger out handles my Vette.

Bingo, comparing a HellCat to the new Z06 is retarded. HUGE weight difference in favor of the Vette is crazy!

Not many cars I would take over a Z07. Period. But the first one I would take.... the P1. It is just a marvel of what we(humans) are capable of.
These new Vettes are gonna be spanking some seriously high dollar cars and it's gonna be funny to watch. Can't wait. Tired of these car shootouts that put base model Vettes against these supercars! I mean, come on. A Porsche, Ferrari, vs a Z51???
Let's see those cars against the Z07.
