Add back average Corvette driver weight to my 2xyear marathon weight and difference gets much larger LOL.

Of course lbs /HP or any other performance metric, no contest for Corvette. But I was originally referring to fun factor on narrow mountain roads open to public. It all depends on want you want out of a sports car.:cheers:

So true but I want handling and power, but I don't have the $325K for a GT2RS.

Looks like it'll be extra convenient for the passenger to turn the driver's heated seat on
