Default 500 PS Monsters

...well obviously its not about the C6, but I just read a test between BMW M6, Doge Viper SRT-10 and Lamborghini Gallardo, all with 500 PS.

I actually thought that those monsters would humiliate the C6 as for as performance figures are concerned, but besides the Beamer that was not the case!

0-200 km/h the Viper was in 14.7 sec, the Callardo in only 15.4 sec
The C6 was measured in another mag at 14.3 sec...

Well well...

Which raises the question of WHY wasn't the Vette included in the test. For the record and the $$$$$$$$ then a test of a ZO6 would be more appropriate and the Vette would really shine...
