3800+ pounds. 3.3 to 60 from 470 hp.
I guess GM better make an AWD vette.

What's the fastest 1/4 for a stock C6Z? 10.98 @ 129?
Considering the GT-R is an auto and has launch control, I don't suspect they'll get much more out of it once the public gets ahold of it. Making the C6Z about 9 MPH and half a second faster.

"The Corvette Z06 isn't even close. Once impressive, its 4.1-second 0-60-mph run and 12-second quarter-mile at 121.8 mph are now well off the pace, which is why Chevy is creating the supercharged Corvette ZR1."

Well, I suspect that you're quite wrong, since turbo cars are often the easiest to modify and a simple computer chip can add ungodly amounts of power.

Well, statistically speaking, take 10 corvettes and 10 GTRs and 10 drivers, do all possible permutations and I'll bet GTR will a lot faster after the results are averaged.

Impressive! But they need to learn how to drive a car with a manual and V8 torque before they make idiotic statemnts.

As more and more automated clutch transmissions come out, I think we'll be seeing more and more launch control in the future. It sure makes a tough package to beat.I still can't get over all that ugly though.
