Don't know about that - but then again, even if so, the Lexus owner will 
probably be crusing right behind the z28 in near dead silence, talking to 
his three adult passengers.

Perhaps that's why Lexi are so unresponsive on the road?

Put it this way - a z28 and a Lexus will get you there in the same amount 
of time - but a Lexus will get you there in quiet, refined, back 
pressing, driver-friendly comfort, while a z28 will be snorting up a 
storm, while the driver has slap the stick around with two of his tall 
friend's knees in his back.

You get what you pay for - but and that's why the Lexus costs more.
Also why there are fewer Lexi than Z28's.
