The Numbers?



405 HP 400TQ

3100 lbs

0-60 in 4 seconds

1/4 mile in 12.5 seconds



All for the one low price of $50,000



The thing I dont like about them is that they are like Camaros here they are everywhere you look.



Again, no offense my ride in the Z-06 was far from impressive. My Mini handles better that it and its stock.

I didnt realize this thread was still going on.



I dont think its fare to compare the prices of a FD and a C5



fully loaded FD was mid $30s 10 years ago, as was a Corvette



lets compare apples to apples here

Hey Guys bought the FD!! The car had a leak , the reserve tank was by passed by a new one which was not even hooked up, the owner said that he would have it fixed tomarrow , other than that the engine is fairly new and it has rebuilt turboes that pull very strong, the guy I bought it from is a MD so he really took care of it. Most likely I'll pick up the car on Tuesday. The car is in very good condtion inside, and out except for two little chips in the paint and the cd player doesnt work properly. The car is a Touring package , Black Ext, Tan Leather. The car drove wonderful but I'm still worried about that coolant leak. Holla at yall later

My point was for 50G's it had better be fast. Unfortunatly for me, I had heard so many people carry on about the Z-06 for so long I was expecting an orgasm as I drove it.



I was beating them in Autocrosses with 225RWHP in my FC back when I was classed with them. But I really thought it was driver and not car so I was still anxious to drive one and feel the magic for myself.



I honestly was not impressed. I was expecting so much more the way everyone talks about them.



It was fast just not what I was expecting.

that would be cool though..when you drove the car if you had an orgasm...lol

there was a magazine that compared the Zo6 to alot of other cars

and it actually did very very well. I think the problem is alot of

old farts getting the car and thinking it will beat everyone around.



If you were to give me your car Jim I wouldnt do as good as you,

im not a autocross guy.
