Motor Trend Dec. issue, FINALLY
semms like they like it 
First of all, hello to everyone, new name but same guy.
I "used" to be c5Norway, but since my new toy is a silver Z06, i thought a name change was in place...
So how did our new race car do..... ? VERY Well.
I would say that actually it was a KO., but it seems like the reporter felt sorry for the Dodge and Ford crowd, so he kept going on ...
"the Ford "might" have done better, etc etc.
Seems like Chevy is underrated and Dodge overrated, rwhp Z06 453 and Dodge 447 rwhp.
TQ # Z06, 411, Dodge 435, Dodge higher , yes, but compared to advertised #s, Dodge should make a new print
I will post more later

Most SRT's dyno between 450-460 hp and 490-505rwt, heres one random chart: and the 427 z06 wont come close to the torque of the v10. I guess Dodge must be exageratting 505 RW torque at the crank when they put out over 500 on the dyno, go figure

As a long time subscriber to MT, I am getting sick and tired of you guys posting all the info before I even get my copy!!! Why is that?? You would think everyone would get each months edition about the same time.....But somebody in Norway got theirs and I bet mine doesn't show up until next week....Time to cancel. I get all the test data here anyway....
Oh yeah, SOMEBODY SCAN AND POST THE ARTICLE!!! ALREADY!!

Looks like
GT 11.5@128.7
Z06 11.6@126.6 (!)
SRT-10 12.0@121.9 (I truly can't believe Dodge let this happen)
It looks like the figure 8's are all 24.xs, but can't really tell.
Z06 and SRT-10 equals in braking. Can anyone tell what else that stuff says? Looks like there is a road course time but I can't read it.

Road Course Times?
The GT's road course time doesn't look right. For a car that should be the most capable (if only by a bit over the Z) of the three in this scenario to finish ~4 seconds in arrears to the Z06 on an loop that's just over a minute long something would've had to go terribly wrong! 
And MT needs to get over their stupid Figure Eight test! It's two semicircular skidpads and two straigtaways rolled into one, so the car with the most motor and widest tires will naturally have the advantage.
Nitpickings aside, a spectacular showing for what is beyond a shadow of a doubt America's finest sports car!
