G.M. Never claimed 505 at the wheels.

I like the WRX but comparing it to a vette is......

My dad had a 600HP Stang that would knock out Ferraris and other Exotics. But at the end of the day he still understood that his car was modified.

You are also most likely a pretty skilled driver and these Z06 cars have not been out for all that long. Experience must have played a role here..no?
