My car weighed 3650 on a scale for race cars.  I don't have the Saleen rear fascia and I have the stock sideskirts, but I have everything else.  I also have lighter wheels.  My suspension is a little beefier than the E car (I have all the Saleen stuff plus some BMR stuff).

The vette obviously has better aerodynamics so I would think it would much faster that an Extreme.

Not sure. I know the vette is a 12.2 1/4 time for an average driver while the extreme is 12.0. Again, that's going by there little comparison sheet so its a little biased.

They're building a Corvette SS (of the 600+ HP variety based on the current Z06 setup) that will re-up the ante on this comparison.

Let me drive that Extreme, I'll put it in the 10's!

New Z06's run 11's.

With or without the tailpipe, drivers seat and left front tire?

If your comparing, see which car can fit a kid in the back seat!  I think its great that Saleen made such a hot stang that its compared to more purpose-built coupes like the corvette, but let's be honest.  Not many people can get away with buying a 2 seater.  I have motorcycles for that.  And if I was in the market for a two seater, I'd skip playing around and go for a Dodge Viper!

Replacing the driver's seat with a lawn chair shaves off have a tenth!

New Z06 bone stock on DR's hits high tens with a good driver.  Iv seen it.  Low 11's on stock rubber.  High elevens very low 12's with average driver.  GM did it right with that car.

Your guys are right. But I have also seen an extreme with some bolt ons hit high tens with drag radials. Not questioning the vette's ability, but the extreme's are not a car to take lightly.
