Nope, if that were the case it would simply trap higher. Supras are good examples of this, they tend to trap high on slower ET runs because they don't start going until mid track or so.

I think the Z06 got the performance edge, but the Lotus has got that unique mini-viper/mr2 sypder thing goin plus about 10k cheaper. Slight edge to the lotus for being the new guy on the block in the states meaning you will see very few of them on the streets, but if you want that performance and muscle, you won't beat the Z06 for the price.
