Is a Yaris Really That Slow?

none of those are supercars ;)

Yeah, you're right. But a Z06 does have supercar performance. It'll hold it's own amongst any exotic, and is faster than many. Don't get me wrong, I'm no raging country singing Chevy fanboy, but I respect it for what it is.

Most (real) supercar drivers do not drive very hard, simply for the fact that they have no need to prove themselves to others who are super slow. But yeah, cars like corvettes, 911's, M3/5/roadster/coupe, AMG's, usually like to play around on the road, well relative to the rest. But they're still nowhere near as bad as econocars.

There's really no place for anybody to be using that kind of performance on public roads. Take it to the track.
