For what it's worth, we all know the Z06 is a great bargain for the performance. Interesting, the GT3 is a close second. Very nice car, my rich doctor friend owns one.

FYI, couldn't get spaces to show up in post. Sorry for the jumbled data.

Now, I know this doesn't take into account quality, build, prestige, etc. But, it is a great way of analyzing performance to cost.
The problem here is the faster you go the higher your cost per second. If the Z06 did 7:30 it would be more expensive per second!!!

Using speed would give the result you want. The speeds would be 106.2, 100.5, 99.2, 99.0, and 97.7 respectively after rounding. The $$$ per mph are $4,142, $746, $1,015, $3,225, and $1,934 respectively. The effect is to reduce the advantage vs. faster cars and increase it vs. slower ones.

Guess which one is the Z06.

Using 460 seconds and $70k for the C6Z, the number would be $692.
