CM Ferrari finally beats corvette ! The 249 thousand dollar F43

Ferrari finally beats corvette ! The 249 thousand dollar F430 finally edged out the corvette in a comparison test.. IN performance no less!

Of course the test included the Aston Martin Vantage V8, the Audi R8, the Ferrari F430 and the corvette Z51 w/npp

Road and Tracks favorite V8 motor was the LS3 in this comparo but the favorite V8 sports car in the comparo was not the 56K thousand dollar Corvette Z51 but rather the 249 thousand dollar Ferrari..

What a surprise...?

Ferrari wouldn't allow the test to go on if the C6 Z06 was included so Road and Track tested the C6 Z51 and the funny part is the C6 coupe almost.. and I mean almost won!

The aston martin is a rolling piece of artwork yet its 380hp was no match up in this comparison so it came in fourth..

The Audi R8 was close but no cigar and came in third....

The Vette rolled in at 2nd and the

249 thousand ferrari came in first..

I'm laughing because its pretty impressive company to be keeping..

I can't imagine why the magazine didn't pick the C6 Z06 other than the fact they wanted something other than a corvette to win a comparision test..

Just shooting the breeze and I have yet to find a download of the article that was in this months R & T mag..

Ferrari (or any manufacturer) should have absolutely no say what car a magazine choses to test, unless it is their own. Just shows what kind of a magazine Road & Track is.
