No one is rallying a C6, and an Evo or STI is a rolling roadblock on a road course. Neither are drag strip queens, but the C6 will do much better stock,with an automatic, than either(or any) Jap entries. The C6 is a road race car, and you can pretty much take a stock one, (and if you're any kind of driver) have a good day at the track........I dare you to jump that "Rally inspired" vehicle......as it comes.....stock. It will disintegrate . This is the flag they are selling it under, and it is a lie. I've had two STI's and a couple of Mitsi's around here, and both were entertaining, (the Mitsi more so) and both suffered from their econo box beginnings....yeah the GM is lacking in the interior area...you want an interior, buy a Barcalounger.....last, yes....race results are the only way to judge pure sporting cars. How the hell else are you gonna judge 'em Everything else is fluff
