The heavier car would win the tug of war or the guy who lets his clutch slip and burns that instead of tires (done that with another car).

As far as which to choose? If you want faster and quicker...

I bought the C6 because it is fast, powerful, doesn't rust and gets great mileage too. Warranty is going soon and the only mods I would consider are ones that will essentially preserve the gas...
