All that and no photo? You also forgot to mention how great the gas mileage is for a new car that goes that fast. There are several vette owners in the forums--mine is older though not really old enough to be worth anything of value. However, it does have a photo of my cats custom embroidered on the leather head rests.

ORIGINAL: XXT-CRer

1/4 mile : 11.91 seconds @149mph

The LS7 engine is the most powerful mill that Chevy has popped out yet, but this highlighted part is clearly a typo. You can reach 11.9 @ 112-113 with a decent 60' time. 149 in the 1/4 is 8-second territory [X(]

...but it is a bad-ass ride, no doubt. Are you an M6 or A4? ....not gonna leave that thing stock are ya? Check out this forum for LSx engines and cars: http://www.ls1tech.com ... Go over there and post some pics, they will drool, I guarantee.

Ya know... that 11.91 ET... I bet with a set of sticky drag radials (would be HUGE on those gorgeous Z06 wheels) you could net a lower time, even with everything else stock. Just think, not that long ago, the NHRA would have told you that you'd have to cut up that new car and put in a complete cage to run 11.99 or faster... A tiny bit of common sense has crept in over the years, not alot, but more than before.

Yeah, and we need pics here too.

YEA, SORRY NO PICS, no camera. but its just your standard zo6, silver, black interior. i love the push button start and doors.

and frost, actually it was no typo, but i know thats not right. i think it was more like 119mph. it was calculated by my buddies little windshield mount analyzer. its made by a radar detector company i think. some of the numbers from it were close i think like the 0-60 time, but im not sure i trust the other figures it provided. but it does pull HARD! i know the hp estimate is close, i think chevy rates this motor (the ls7 7ltr v8) at 490 or 500hp, and the acceration tester estimated it at 510. its got the auto tranny, and from a dead stop, it barely spins the tires, but they just kinda barely spin all the way up till about halfway through 2nd( about 55 -60mph) with a noticable deep bark at the shift. they just kinda howl really deep till then. not really spinning, but not totally hooked up either. i hope that makes sense. this is the 1st performance car for me so im at a loss for some of the lingo.xxt
