...lead to my finding reviews on the Corvette Z06. Check it out, if you can stand watching an American car for 4 minutes 17 seconds. ;) Very cool. The second video shows it going from 0-160 all in 5th gear only. Plus, it outruns a trail of burning gas, just in case you need to outrun fire. :eek:

Best performance for the buck on the planet, ever. Check out the new Car & Driver, where the Z06 finishes 3rd in a comparo between a Ferrari and a Porsche.

But the Z06 beat them both around Gingerman Raceway.
