Patrick I'm confused here.

I actually priced one out and the total package came to $51,000.00 US including car, who gave you the $60,000.00 plus car price?
Is it $51K for the total or $51K + the price of the Solstice?
Now to your other points. A LS2 Solstice will not outrun a Z06, based on what I read it is no faster than the base level Corvette. Yes the 50/50 weight distribution definitely helps it corner better and the larger engine would hurt that factor, but the Solstice is in fact shorter than the Corvette and (correct me if I'm wrong) this helps the cornering. The smaller the car the easier it is to get around a track as opposed to a larger car.
