'06 Corvette Z06 Goes 0 to 60 in UNDER 3.7 Seconds!!

Apparently they (MT) has gotten the buzz from some GM engineers that they have tested the Z06 below 3.7 sec. to 60, but they didn't state how much lower

It is about time. I wonder what the mad scientists at SRT have to say about this. I expect a salvo from them in the form of a Viper upgrade.

Heard a nasty rumor the Viper could be on borrowed time....
hope it's not true.

That Vette is so kickass - I wish I had a spare kid to trade for one.

I just can't wait to see the magazine comparisons of the '06 C6 against all the high priced exotics. It's going to stand up very well, or even embarass a good deal of them with the "old" pushrod design.

Go GM

I can't wait to see it on Top Gear, just to hear what they say to deem it inferior to all European sports cars.

Like the c6, they'll be blown away that its "14th century suspension" (direct quote from c6 test) can take a simple 90* corner at moderate speeds .

Yeah, I was going to mention Top Gear, but I'm so tired of their crap. I love their reviews for the humor, but I don't get their bashing of the C6, especially when you consider the price! It's like they expect it to have the interior and fit and finish of a $500k sportscar for $45k. Weird.

Hey Dodge,
better get that V10 Hemi ready or your a$$ is going to be choking on some major dust!

Sincerely,

They are overly critical of the Vette, but if you think they are hard on the Vette, you should see what they say about the Viper. I believe the guy testing the car said the Viper was "Absolute Rubbish." I'll try to find a link to the C6 vs. Viper comparison.

At least at the end of all their bashing they had to eat their words when the C6 pulled off one of their best times on that road course they run.\


*edit - this is Chuck! posting on my friend's computer.
