I've driven a 6 speed C6 and was not very impressed, but that's coming out of my 4 speed big block Chevelle.

My current Vette's a C6 LS7 car, and somehow think you'd be impressed with that one, as some are into the 10's stock on drag radial's. Getting back to the topic, some of these newer car's are just carrying to much curb weight, due to lazy enginereeing, and Ford's one of the worst. The Mustang's not to bad, but don't put a scale to some of their other stuff, especially truck's.

Oh I would be impressed lol, Base c6's are not what I expected though. I didn't really take it through any tight corners fast enough to appreciate its handling but straight line power was not doing it for me.
