I wasnt really a vette fan until this one... I aways respected the car, but thought of others Id rather own... This zo6 has me drooling...

The new Z06 is easy to spot. They have an air scoop on the hood for the air intake and one on each of the rear fenders to ventilate the rear brakes.quote:

Trying finding a GT for 120K. I've seen them from 150K and up. They have a crazy dealer markup on them at most stealerships.quote:

Is it a lot faster or more capable?

Aerodynamic drag really slow a car down as speed increases.quote:
I was suprised how much it slowed down once in 5th gear though
The still would be with no air resistance. ke=1/2mv^2, so it takes more energy to accelerate a mass from 100 to 150 than it does from 0 to 100.quote:

A few years back, a car magazine tested many different exotic cars (Ferrari 512, Porsche 911 Twin Turbo, Lamborghini, Lotus, ZR-1 Corvette, Viper).....and every car was faster from 0-100 MPH compaired to their 100-150 MPH times.
