a stock sun international got 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, 1/4 mile in 12.6 seconds and well over 1.0g lateral grip (sun website)

the last z06 i looked at got 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, 1/4 mile of 12.6 seconds and 1.03 best lateral grip...top speed is definitely in the vettes favor though (http://www.supercars.net/cars/2001@$Chevrolet@$Corvette%20Z06.html)

though acceleration stats and a skidpad are similar...on a track the lighter and much more nimble elise type r should win

take into the fact that the elise type r weighs less than 2,000 lbs and the z06 weighs around 3,200 lbs...the weight difference makes has a huge effect on the track...weight transfer, braking distance, etc.
