[QUOTE="FordMoCo21, post: 16248921, member: 104388"] Because 95% of the "performance" everyone is mentioning is really just about how it's going to roll out on the highway or form a low roll. Literally 1% or less of buyers are going to have either of these cars on an actual road course. They are going to be racing around on the street. Power to weight is what matters there. Sure the under 3 second 0-60 is impressive, if you just want to launch the car constantly and then fizzle out. 0-60 is an "indicator" of power to weight, but the largest reason for a good 0-60 is traction (assuming reasonable hp). Plenty of Teslas out there that would out 0-60 a C7 Z but would get slaughtered out on the highway, or even at the 1/4 mile on the top end. I would say 20-150 is a better "indicator" of real world performance, and there will be NO COMPETITION between the new GT500 and this base C8 at that metric. Even then, the GT500 will also be much faster around a track than the base C8. Max grip levels may or may not go towards the base C8, but the power difference is huge, and the GT500 will have more downforce. So there's my argument beyond "power to weight". [/QUOTE]
