Actually after seeing the movie, a koenigsegg would be more appropriate.

Fine, Fine, one of each then, and when both the C4 and the Koenigsegg break I will go back to the 951 to get me down the road!!!

You should see this race at 22lbs as opposed to 15lbs. Lol! The Vette owner (disgusted with the results of the race) chatted with a fellow Corvette owner about my little 4 banger. He said he would come smoke me... He has a 2009 C6 Z06!

The difference is that the Corvette is more drivable and has a warranty. Bill Gates wouldn't want to warranty a 951 that is fast enough to mess with C6s.

The 944 Turbo came out the year following this commercial. I remember when the c-4 debut in 1984, I thought the car was awesome in styling with the front hood tilting up the way it did. There really wasn't much being offered in those days.

Hey now, the car has been great! Standard C6 LS2 and LS3 Corvettes are pretty quick but factoring the power required to embarrass them... The limits of the 951 are not in question nor the reliability. The owner of the C6 Z06 states the car made 440rwhp on his dyno glory run so the results of a little sprint will be interesting.
