Not out yet is what I thought. Saw this one between Indianapolis and Louisville. Was told by the GM engineers driving that there are about 200 out there called "engineering vehicles". The genlemen were kind enought to take me for a ride and more than anything, the sound is intoxicating.

whats even more hilarious is the fact that they used Goodyear tyres. Probably the worst gripping tyre money can buy. Hope you like it when the ass end slides out on your 60 thousand dollar vette, and your stabbed to death by the cracked fiberglass body panels. Weight reduction is not GM's fortay apparently.

Um, no it won't. I could explain the whole weight versus HP thing..but..I feel it would just be wasted on someone who makes a foolish comment like this. And,FWIW, Audi and Porsche use "AWD", not "4WD".

Typical JU non-logical bull****. The M5 would walk away from the Z06??? It'll have the same hp, less torque(not overtorqued) and weigh considerably more. Gearing isn't going to overcome that- neither is that crappy SMG.
When you buy your M5 PM me and we'll have a little pink slip race. Stock on stock- just like you pansies are always crying about.

Not that anyone cares but the 2006 M5 will not match the ZO6 in any performance category.
0-60 3.9
11.9 1/4

Is that all you've got?

Sorry I did not get any of the hood scoop. It looks so much more menacing than a regular C6. The engineer said about $65K the way it was sitting without nav or the other options- just a good ol 427 and some 31xx lbs. He said due out Oct Nov timeframe.

What is it with all of these jack off kids around here these days? Only a pimple faced loser kid with no friends and magazine pages for girlfriends could make such stupid un-educated remarks. Why don't you write back after you go out and make something of your life? We all earned it so why don't you?
