Im not surprised they picked the F430 first. They have showed an amazing amount of bias for Ferrari in many previous articles. Why even bother comparing it.

Ranking makes no sense.
Ferrari is:
- slowest (including at the track)
- most expensive
- such poor fuel economy means it has a MUCH bigger gas tank which will make it even slower when full
- highest cost to maintain
It's certainly the rarest, and may arguably be the best looking, but these cars are more about performance and the Ferrari comes up short.
The Corvette may have bad seats (article says) but I think I could afford some Recaros with the HALF PRICE it costs compared to the others. The Corvette is an amazing bargain.

Kudos to GM,the Corvette has the MOST POWER and the LOWEST WEIGHT!!! 
911 Turbo now=PIG.3500lbs???THat is GS 350 weight
Ferrari, cant lie the F430 has been winning comparos in Europe as well.
But price wiseZ06> both.
Wake up editors. America showed out with the Z06

Well I'm not mag editor, but I've driven all three of these cars and I agree; of the three the Ferrari is the "most rewarding". That does not mean it is the best value; not even close - the Vette is clearly the value leader here by a long shot, but price not an option the Ferrari would be my choice every time. Interestingly I've yet to detail a c6 vette. :/
