I guess I meant it as a compliment to both cars. On one hand you have a new car with the resources of GM behind it that blows away everything in its class and some that are above its class. Then you have Hellfire that has twice the horsepower, but is a 45 year old car....that will probably blow away everything in its class, and some that are "above" its class (Porsche for example)!

I was just a sarcastic tease (bad personal trait at times) that said........what engineers like Mark and others have brought to the marketplace for 'everyday' consumers is very impressive......and then there's the potential of the C7 Z06!

No matter the brand, American or Euro, the performance levels of new and old cars right now is amazing!

If I had to do it all over again I'd have pursued an automotive engineering career. The rewards of seeing a car like the new Z/28 come to market has to be a priceless experience.

The early 80's, when I was figuring out what I was doing after high school, certainly didn't inspire me to go into automotive engineering. Too bad I didn't have the insight I should have!
