Strange, every piece of data I've found on the car shows nothing near what you claim. I guess top gear, road and track, and car and driver all must have done biased tests on the car so the average driver wouldn't feel so butt hurt when they couldn't match the times. 3.4 is the fastest time I managed to find....a half a second slower than your claim. GM under respresents the Z06 also, it's actually capable of sub 2 second 0-60 times, at least that's what I heard...so it must be true
