If you look at sales figures, the automatic wins. Compelling arguments can be made for both. IMO, both perform about as well, so the biggest difference is in the perceived driver "experience". To...

Don't know much about the hurricane, but the Vararam's track record is well established and documented. Go with something that is tried and true. :thumbs:

I have a Vararam with after-market catbacks and I don't notice a big difference in the sound. Could be that the sound of the exhaust is drowning it out. I certainly wouldn't let that issue deter you...

I've heard that the metallic flakes are more aerodynamic in the mag red. It will shave .3 secs off your quarter mile ET. :D

Depends on the axle ratio. The stock 2.73 will probably run a 0-60 of 5.0 - 5.2 secs, the optional 3:15 from 4.8 -5.0.

Twin-turbo V6, 480hp, 3800lbs, $75K, potent but not terribly attractive, should run with C6 Z06 in both handling and acceleration.
