Ok, enough of this MT talk, lets switch over to C&D for a change up
Can someone scan the Feb. issue of C&D? It states there that the manufacture predicts an 11.7 ET @ 127 for the Z06. Not sure what they are on, or they are just
It also says that the maufacture claims a 0-100 in 7.7 secs!
0-100 in 7.7 secs is A FULL SECOND FASTER THAN AN SRT-10!!! WHERE THE HECK ARE THEY GETTING THESE NUMBERS FROM??
How can you predict an 11.7, then say at 127? 127 trap is a low 11 sec car. I mean are they just assuming right off the bat that the car is going to spin out for the first two gears hence giving the lower ET and true mph? I just dont understand how the maufacture can claim such an ET with that mph, makes no sense. If they actually tested the car and got like a 2.3 60', i would understand the mph, but when your are just estimating, might as well be consistent with the estimation. Not sure if that made too much sense, nontheless, its cool that "the manufacture" thinks it will trap at 127 mph

I just received an email from a buddy that says the C&D article predicts the price around the low to mid 60's! Anyone get their issue yet to confirm that?

Yes Tony, that seems to be the word. I heard the same thing form CF
no way. 127 = yeah right. i'd say around 11.6 @122
122 is to low imo, and 127 is too high. My guess would be 124-125. Since the Viper traps at 123, the Z06 having the same power and less weight, it would only make sense for the car to trap only a few mph higher than the Viper.
11.6@124 is my prediction. Let us wait and see.
Can anyone tell me where these mags get their predictions from? 0-100 in 7.7 secs? haha, i wouldnt believe it even if i seen it..
They (the car rags) should be reporting on speculating on the embargo info that GM gave to them all in November (which would mean estimated speeds were from test "mules" and not the production car I would guess).
