"Speaking of Macho, I just found the "GTR-BMW" club grand opening day picture." & "The guy with the feather duster on his head drives an M5"
HHGT, those 2 are the funniest $%^&*ng posts I've ever seen on this forum.
Additionally, the new Car and Driver has an extensive test among a Z51, Z06 and ZR1 vette. What I found most compelling, is the various acceleration results for the the ZR1 are essentially no better than those of the C&D test of the FGT against the 360 Modena and Porsche 911 GT3 (1/2004 issue). The most impressive stat was a 0-100 time of about 7.6 seconds, but the quarter mile was 11.5 @ 126 (or 128-mag is not in front of me), and if memory serves, the 1/04 issue showed a quarter mile time almost identical for the GT. Furthermore, many other car mag rags showed similar (if not even better) quarter mile times for the GT. Makes me wonder about 1) actual HP rating of GT-too conservative? and 2) how much power loss on front engine vs mid engine of the GT.
Either way, the GT is the bomb, especially aesthetically.
