As performance rises the driver increasingly becomes the weakest link. There are already many cars with limits that far exceed the driver's ability and opportunity to exploit them so what do we gain by further widening the gap?

Is what Im talking about. P4g4nite is just reading a spec sheet and deciding that its some how an inferior car.

He's not suggesting it's an inferior car, he's questioning the point of it. There are already plenty of stupidly powerful cars that are better than pretty much anyone who will ever drive one, Lambos, Zondas, top-flight Ferraris etc etc. (and to further P4g4nite's point) but unlike those cars, the ZR1 is still just a Corvette. An immensely fast one no doubt, but still a Corvette.
