Could the new S550 outperform Chevys new C7 for nearly half the cost?

[QUOTE="USV8PWR, post: 13739409, member: 134833"] There are several other factors to consider when speaking acceleration in addition to HP and weight, namely traction and aerodynamics. ALL are key when discussing acceleration. Another would be transmission quality/shift speed but if we are talking two modern manual cars that would be a mute point. While the new Mustang could conceivably have more HP than the C7, it will NOT match the weight, traction or the aerodynamics of one. No way does Ford get the weight of a 4 seater high powered car down to the weight of a two seater Corvette. Want to bring up other cars that weigh less than the C7...that's fine but there isn't any that have as much HP and/or are as big as the new S550. Yes handling should greatly improve for the S550 but so did it for the C7 over the C6. [/QUOTE]
