I am a Corvette fan, so I was disappointed with the results in the article. Was there a reason why a cushy vert was chosen? They were notoriously flexy, a hardtop may be a better choice for a rematch. I'd also recommend an original Z06 for an even match with the Shelby - nearly the same cost as well:

...Wishing for a rematch...
Great article though.
