AWD please!!!! I got 2nd in the 2003 1 lap of America. Ron Adee got 1st in a Vette. I think it has been won by AWD cars ever since. Street tires, Rain. AWD would be nice. I luv tossin a RWD car around ,but some situations AWD sure would be nice.

Thank goodness it won't be.
1967 was great, and the cars/music/chicks were all grand, but they need to be admired as they were, not recreated and regurgitated now as something they ain't.

You sir shall prove right. Only because the actual car will prove slightly less crappy than the rendering we have.

+1 Looks like a damn 300ZX. Not even Government Motors could be that stupid.

That's the GTO one...I'm not saying is horrible looking. I'm just saying in base model, it's not their best looking one. I prefer this one: http://images.search.yahoo.com/r/_yl...ri-458-italia/

If you look at the three quickest production cars in the world 0-60, the Bugatti Veyron, the Porsche Turbo 911 and the Nissan GT-R, they all have AWD and run serious sub-3.0 second 0-60 shots. The 458, the GT2, etc., have been eclipsed. The current Turbo kills the last GT2 in acceleration even though the GT2 has more power. Indeed, these AWD cars are quicker in the quarter as well. The new Lambo Aventador has AWD, too. No accident. The C6 ZR1 with launch control cannot do 3.0 flat, or hit sub 3.0, stock.
It's much like anti-lock brakes. You can make fine, fade-free binders without ABS, but they will not be able to achieve the shortest stopping distances. They just can't do it, as the computers achieve optimum utilization of available stopping power.
Now, a RWD car can still hold its own in track lapping, but in accel, AWD just takes it to an entirely new level....I am assuming Team Vette wants bragging rights in accel, at least against the GT-R, so to do so, they need at least one high-HP model with AWD and gumballs, it seems to me. Of course, I'd like to see them match the Porsche in accel, too. No one will complain much if a 120K Vette cannot match a 1.5 million Veyron....

I'll take the all-around performance of the C6 at $42K (discounted price).

On a sticky/prepped surface at least.

That should calculate out to about a 2.5 second 0-60 time, pure bone stock ZR1.
Now, we could all cry "foul" and say "yeah, well, that was done on a prepped drag strip" ....but then, couldn't one then respond with "well, I believe that some of those Bugatti, Porsche and Nissan results were attained on prepped drag strips as well, no?"
