With that said there is no doubt in my mind the 4.0 would be a freakin' track monster with slicks. Oh yes, and oh my, it would be sweet track-crack addiction at first taste.

And comments were made as to the sounds. Sounds that if heard in person would drive you to madness. And make you want to sell a kidney. You know what I am talking about...

No one was more amazed than me, I thought the 'Vettes would trounce the 4.0. The fine gentleman (super great guy) in the race prep 'Vette advised me his crank HP was supposed to be 505. So it makes sense for it to be so close.

I am seeing a Carbon 'Vette/4.0 shootout at TH in Nov

No cheating Mike! I am going to check your tires and trunk for Nitrous before we roll onto the track lol...
