Hi I'm John I'm in Phoenix Arizona Just recently bought someone's race car about a month ago from what dealership called Goldie's in Tempe Arizona, a black 2011 ZO6. I just got it dynoed on Tuesday and it was 584 wheel horsepower and 541 foot pounds of torque. Fun stuff. Prior to this vehicle the fastest vehicle I've ever driven or had was a 2012 VW CC 2.0 tfsi LOL.
