Car class
What performance class would a 2006 c6 LS2 auto be included with, i.e. Mustang, Challenger, Camaro SS for performance comparisons?
Also, can the DVD nav system be programmed to play movie dvd's?
Thanks.
Great site!

No, you cannot play movies on the Nav.

[QUOTE=haljensen;1573973958]Performance class? None of the above mentioned cars are in the same class as an LS2 'Vette.
None of those cars holds a candle to an LS2 Vette. I sold a Charger SRT8 to get into my 2009 Vette and I can assure you there is no comparison. The Chargers and Challengers in particular are just way too heavy to be in a Vette's league. My SRT8 was over 900 pounds heavier than my 2009 and I can feel the difference everytime I drive it!

Unless you're talking rental cars, a car's "class" is usually defined by one of several sanctioning bodies. For example, in races sanctioned by Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series the C6 runs in the GT Class with Porsche GT3, Chevrolet Camaro, BMW M3 and M6, Pontiac GTO.R, Mazda RX-8, Nissan 350Z, Ferrari 430C, Ford Mustang, Infiniti G35, Audi R8, Jaguar XK and Mercedes SLS. At the 24 Hours of LeMans (sanctioned by ACO) and in American LeMans Series (ALMS) races, the C6 is in the same GT class as Aston Martin, BMW, Ferrari, and Porsche.

In many cases there are "equalizers" in the form of restrictor plates and ballast weights to keep the competition as close as possible.

MOPAR makes a fun musclecar and they do look very retro but a Corvette they are not, IMHO.
