How does the C6 compare to the Testarossa? I still want one. Been looking at 348GTSs recently.

I really expected your first C6 to be a Z06. I'm soooo disappointed....
Black has to be one of the best looking colors for any Vette.

I've been to the track about 2 weeks ago but only got to make 1 run...
Had a bad launch and only ran 11.02. MPH was almost identical to previous runs, so there are no problems.. Lost .14 until the 330 ft mark and only lost 1 hundreds from there to the 1/4 mile... Played with the shift point and the tranny was shifting too early...
Ran 99 mph in the 1/8 mile and 124 mph in the 1/4 mile.. which was the same as on my 10.87 run...

The power band of the Ferrari and sound is quite different. The Ferrari is a dog below 4000 RPM but all hell breaks loose above..
The C6 has great power even at lower RPM. At the drag strip, the C6 would definetely beat the Ferrari..

I only buy convertibles and the Z06 doesn't come as a vert
If they'll make a conversion for a reasonable price, I might just get one..
