Default 11.96 Bone Stock Z06 Article

Has anyone seen a recent "car" magazine article about a 2004 "bone stock" Z06 that achieved 11.96 ? I am trying to get a hold of this.
Thank You

It was packaged with the September issue of Popular Hot Rodding. It's in a special issue of GMHP magazine. The new issue is out, but you still may be able to find the September issue if you act quickly.

I'm sure all the new C6 owners are going to be working on their excuses.

Changes for the '04 Corvette Z06 include Nuerburgring-tested, re-valved shocks and a new carbon-fiber hood.

Did I miss something? Both statements are correct, although the CF hood is limited to the Z16, its still available and only on the 04's.

Help me understand.
