Well, the fact that someone is concerned about how good of a driver the person is in the vette speaks volumes as to how fast that cart is! Without the video, people would have said the worlds worst reaction time driver in a Z06 or any vette could have beaten a golf cart.

Not sure the greens keeper will be impressed with that cart hitting the course.

The golfcart obviously had a motorcycle engine in it...Doesn't surprise me that it beat a C6.

A buddy of mine has a Smart car with a turbo hayabusa engine in it and it runs bottom 10s.

The sad or funny depending on how you take it fact is a lot of imports, yeah, the tuner cars lots of vette owners poke fun at that the kid who works a drive thru window owns will spank a c3 pretty badly on the 1320,

Yes, but what kind of idiot sits around in the Country Club bar with a race helmet next to his golf bag. What a bounder.

That's a golf cart in name only.


Z06 vs. four-wheel motorcycle.


Still a little bit embarrassing...

Default Just because....

Just because it's a Corvette, does not mean it's fast, or even 'quick' for that matter.

There is 'POWER' in the name Corvette. Sometimes, it's HYPE.

For instance, I own a 1978 VW Scirocco 4 cylinder and an 1982 CE

Which one is faster? C'mon you know, yeah, it hurts, just say it!

Not by just a little....but by over a second 0-60.

Next, 2000 Audi TT Quattro VS any C-3, which one has a higher top end,
Yes, again it's the 4 cylinder Audi...by 30 mph. 155mph

Even my 69 350/350 3.70 gear M-21 runs out of steam at 137mph.

I feel for the California guys who own 305s with a whopping 185 hp in a 3500 pound strangled Vette.

Me...a rice rocket pulls up next to me revving his engine...I give him 'the look'.....I'm not going to waste the hydrocarbons on you!

Really!!!! You don't think 1050HP pro-charged Z06 would be fast.
