If you are patience and good on bandwidth, you could go through all the hot laps with the various participating vehicles and enjoy yourself with wonderful wheels on track and make your own conclusions too with lots of fun.

You could also check out the c63 S AMG hot lap in the 2015 Mercedes-AMG C63 S Hot Lap! - 2015 Best Driver's Car Contender. Quite an interesting fun. Remember that the c63 AMG Black Series that finish second in the 2012 best driver's car contender:

Story would have been different if the Z06 had not broken down

It's a conspiracy I say

I don't think so, rather its been years of properly finance research to replace the all powerful SLS. MB as usual gave it all it got there...Same thing BMW is doing right now in their carbon fiber 7 series(as they now produces carbon fiber themselves)

Interesting thread!...I'm disappointed with the Lexus...thought it would do better. Surprised with the Mazda Miata... to me that car always looks like a toy car!...to do local driving!...like go to get a few bottles ...or pick up a Barbie size babe from the bus stop!...now I know it has more to it and is well built! I'm not surprised at the Corvette breaking down....but surprised that Chevrolet has no clue why!....guess they rushed the product to market because of great stats .... but paid little attention to reliability. Well... been watching this Benz a while now....the AMG's have a throaty flabbering sound when accelerating a bit hard....and goes quiet when off the gas....as in the video!...but the video can't give the fullness of that sound! The BMW 7 series carry a similar sound...guess some new technology. I wonder why the Nissan GT-R was not included?

Maya is the perfect daily driver's car if you look online they don't lose their second hand value.
Most people who came afford the corvette but it.

Now if the $85k Z06 beats the $221k SLS it won't be good for Mercedes-Benz when those guys showed that a $35k mustang GT can take a M-series BMW the Germans have not recovered from that one

Mazda, especially Mazda 3 and Miata have always been one hidden but very sound savvy vehicles, very efficient, and not bad in performance as well too. I have always told people, if its about savvy and reliability, if you gave me Corolla and Mazda 3 or Miata to chose from , i would always chose a Mazda without blinking an eyelid. I know Toyota fan boys will not mercy me on this.

I have always loved Mazda at this level; affordable; efficient; performer at their compact sedan level. Non like it yet.

GT-R on the other hand, like Lamborghini, is all about speed , yes they do very well with that. But professionally,unlike the Lamborghini and the rest, it is a very hard vehicle to keep on track at such performance level compared to these ones. Her grip on the road, a car of such level of magnitude and price is not so good per se.

Whether we like it or not , Lexus is Toyota in her modified state, it has a root of frame work of budgeted(poor) suspensions and poor road gripping and budgeted materials too. Yes they may have worked so hard on the aesthetics and performance by way of targeting a particular brand Mercedes or BMW she wants to outsmart- that doesn't make it a performer or best round car in the over all but only in some aspect of interest based on who she is competing with.

Well Sultan, sometime Benz pricing is often misunderstood, if others like Lexus, Nissan , uses the kind of material and technology Benz uses in her fabrication, they are always twice the price of Benz

Take for instance , Benz, apart from the Kompressors, build their turbo inside the cylinder(very expensive but efficient technology, the research too would have been expensive) but others build theirs outside the cylinder just like those street tunings. Any level of Benz, even the least entry level does not compromise in weight(material) and in technology as well as handling and engine longevity/ruggedness. They all grip the road very well no matter how little. That is why their entry level vehicle is always costlier than the full size sedans of other budgeted brand-though some fanatics would always misunderstood these simple facts about Benz.

GM has been resuscitated like twice or more at government intervention..not yet recovered from that, so they are trying hard to win the minds of the people, so they are very careful in what they do with those muscle cars pricing, else they wouldn't sell to you an over 700hp Dodge challenger for 65k nor Ford Chevy at such amount- In as much as they are trying to make pronounced impact, they are also careful not to use too much expensive technology, in order to make sales. They have not forgotten the past so soon, though despite these huge horsepowers their weight always stood on the way because of the not so expensive technology in used. It is only here that you could buy 700hp & 500hp vehicle that cheap, this was the reverse in the past.

Definitely too,the SLS technology was too expensive and inefficient, i also think that the SLS was overpriced, else the better AMG GT S shouldn't be that cheap.

The SLS wins to protect its image, and Bentley is about ego.

The Corvette and Cadillacs are trims within a model line so they are cheaper because they are built on regular vehicle chassis just engine and suspension upgrades, there are still a lot of cars not tested but for those with the money that is just an idea of what to be looking at
