going from stop light to stop lgiht the fastest must be great!
Go look at the road race times the current C6 Z06 is putting down... there isn't a standard production vehicle for less than four times the price that can beat it - and the cars that can have more power, too.

I'd say the Z06, at least, puts that power down VERY effectively and no 350hp car is going to touch it unless you call an Aerial Atom a car.

though that may be tru, you'll never get to really use that power anywhere on the streets...i kno the zo6 is very beastly powered, but is it practical, i doubt, its a great d/strip car
