The 1750 HP, 0-6 in 2.5 sec Tuatara
Now this is some American muscle!

Hang on..lol.. 0-6 in 2.5 !! I'm sorry Mr.K, I just couldn't resist. Forgive me...lol
Not impressed. A 2020 Corvette Z51 with 495 HP will do 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds........
A 2020 Corvette with the Z51 package lists for about $66K

That just makes the Vette all the more amazing.
To reach acceleration like that typically takes a huge expenditure of cash. Still, three-tenths of a second would be about a car length.
No matter how you cut it, both cars are most impressive. There are others that will hold their own against them, though none can match the value of the Corvette.

I can't afford either. But if I could, it'd be the Vette hands down.
And, lol, Tuatara sounds like something I'd find in the produce dept. of a foreign market.
Excellent..sure beats the usual 50-70 American designs.
I thought I visited Tuatara in the South Pacific.

Where's the pics.. ๐
Just read that tuataras are a reptile endemic to New Zealand. I'll be darned.
No info on their h.p. though ๐
Apples vs. oranges. Not possible to compare the two.
This is a beautiful car for the very wealthy. Vette would be the max $ limit for me and would be more than enough to satisfy this average Joe.
Well, they're both basically round. Doesn't that count for something ?
