Not to me sounds like a good reason why the Corvette dominates its class.

wouldn't talk about "dominate" just because it's cheaper than most of the other cars.....good yes....dominating....No.

and btw that was not my point, I just said because Hans is racing on the Nordschleife like forever....and he isn't the youngest anymore

If he works at vortex, I'm sure he has seen plenty of ZO6's tracked. And Porsche's,viper's, and anything else worth being on a race track.

I will second the comment about the corvette brakes. it's one of the first upgrades a corvette owner will do, if they are going to track the car. It's still a great track car, albeit not as fast as the GT-R.
