Autocar mag compares the C7 to some of Europe's best
A very nice video review by an excellent British journalist for one of their main auto magazines, Autocar:
Enjoy!

Not really very accurate comparison.... doing a drive by to hear which sounds better....... really?
The Porsche in the brake test killed the vette and they take the slowest of the group to run against the vette.
The title is quite a stretch

They drove all of the cars and had the overall very favourable opinion of the C7 that they did. The video is simply how they presented it.
Regardless, the C7 has stopped as fast or faster than the 911S in other tests. It does, in fact, out accelerate it. To me, matching or beating the 911S is a win. It did sound much better (subjectively) than the others and it compared favourably in handling to an AWD R8 in wet conditions. I don't think the title is a stretch at all... but that's just my opinion.
