I always love to see the Vette come out on top, but these comparisons make me feel that they will continue to be hard to come by.

Why can't those other guys make great cars at reasonable prices?

cool
One thing I get didn't was the zero to sixty times. They said the ford was the fastest at 4 sec. I have a Corvette Quarterly that states the 04 ZO6 goes from zero to sixty in 3.9 sec. What's up with this?

Hey folks, there are a couple more links with good videos from Edmunds (I admit I never thought I'd find them there) - here's one that isn't really listed on the site anymore but the URL is still working - It's got a proto going around MPG (Milford Proving Ground) and also at at another track - great driving by Johnny O'Connell and a great burnout at the end...

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=105876

And - here's Edmunds review of the Z06 - wihtout the Viper & Ford GT stuff. Some of the same video as in the comparison, but more good shots of the Z06 and good comments:

http://www.edmunds.com/apps/vdpconta...6/pageNumber=1

There's a third video on Edmunds also, but it's just a walk-around the car with Tadge Jeuchter (Asst. Chf. Eng.) and there's nothing most of us don't already know by now.

Enjoy!!!

not everybody will get the same acceleration times.


Just like have you ever gone to a track and have seen Viper and Vette owners run 14s and high 13s? It happens.


I'd still rather have the GT, hell I'd rather have the Gallardo over the GT.
