It doesn't matter as people will compare anything they choose to compare because there are Ford guys and Chevy guys. Here is a link to a Chevy Guy and a Supercar Build. What should we compare it too?

The big factor is weight? Seriously? I would consider the "big factor(s)" to be price-point and vehicle class, the latter being the most important. The base taurus and camaro are similar weights. . . If weight is the important factor than the SS still compares to the gt500 better than the 'vette. It's stupid to compare the gt500 to the vette because it's a totally different class of vehicle and it's also stupid to compare it to the SS because there is already a direct competitor for it in the lineup. That is the reason the z28 is coming.
