It's like assessing the Saturn V by how quickly it climbs out to 35,000 feet - interesting, but not reflective of its capability.
Kind of embarrassing that the chassis engineering honcho at SRT has to come out and tell you this to your face, isn't it?
Did and 11th grader write this? Or was this the result of some natural language processing algorithm spitting out awkward, computed prose?
One more ridiculous example:
"*Yes, we know. It's not possible to precisely convert thrust to horsepower. We could have used gigawatts to express the energy released by the Saturn V, but then you'd have no idea what we were talking about. Even though you saw Back To The Future."
....hmmmm...Back to the Future...Saturn V....rocket ships...someone tweak the algorithm...it's search pattern is unfocused.
These are two magnificent cars going head to head. Describing this unique event deserves better than Edmund's Orange County brand of wit and sophistication...you guys make Car and Driver read like Vanity Fair...

SRT may benefit from a new tire package. Suspension tuning will probably occur over the life of the vehicle (maybe a revision of the dual mode system), but I'm looking forward to another ACR.
Beyond that, it's too bad you guys couldn't go on any longer tracks. The Streets really benefits the Vette's rubber selection, but I'd like to see how they'd both perform on a longer circuit.
