TweetBad ass!!

TweetAs a Mustang fan I have one already but I would love to get a 500hp Mustang as long as I can keep the one I have now.

TweetVery nice car! and very effective in straight line...

Tweeti love this car! it is beautiful. the review i read said it is very traction limited in first and second gear leading to slower than expected 1/4 mile times. i would love to see one with a a pair of slicks and the boost bumped up on it!

Tweetto me just another ford!

TweetCan you wrap your mind around the concept of a factory-issued, fully warranted 200-mph Corvette that'll hit 100 mph in the low sevens and run mid- or low 11s in the quarter? Okay, none of those numbers is official yet. The car is still undergoing wind-tunnel testing and final engine tuning. But sources say a prototype with full camo flapping in the high-speed breeze has driven well into the 190s, and our pocket Cray supercomputer says that at 200 mph this Vette would be spinning at or just past its power peak in fifth gear, which seems plausible.








Here's the beef backing that brag: The 7.0-liter LS7 engine will produce at least 500 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 475 pound-feet of torque at 4800 rpm. Revving just slightly past its 7000-rpm redline through base Corvette six-speed gearing, it'll hit 60 mph in first in well under four seconds. The chassis is--drum roll--all aluminum. Magnesium and carbon-fiber parts also are used to help contain the total curb weight to under 3150 pounds. That'll put the new Z06's weight-to-power ratio below both the GT's 6.3 pounds/horsepower and the Viper's 6.8. Aero tuning reduces total lift and balances the front and rear lift coefficients while increasing the base Vette's 0.28 drag coefficient to 0.34.


While the new Z06 broke cover in Detroit in January, we won't get a chance to drive it and verify all these lofty claims until later this spring. You won't get a crack at it either until the fourth quarter of 2005, at which point we estimate you'll have to shell out $75-$85 large. For now, let's train our magnifying glasses on this exotic Chevrolet.

TweetNordschleife lap times have become bragging rights for any automaker. Porsche test driver Walter Roehrl says any good driver can achieve an eight-minute 40-second lap in a standard 911; learn the track--where the bumps are--and you might get that down to the low eights. Anything under eight minutes means a good car. And a good driver.

omg I think I just experienced the best orgasm ever




hahahaha, I love my stangs!!!
