The V6 Stang is certainly quick enough to take advantage of a poor driver (or a mistake) in the Z, but it's really not that close. I think they are running high 13s stock, so it's plausible that they could snooker a Z at the strip, but in like-for-like conditions, nope.

OK, I guess they are a little bit closer. The stock V6PP cars are dipping into the mid 13s.

Definitely a head turner. They went to the bottom of the sea to check it out! Even made a movie that had boobies in it!

Wait! What age group did the magazine article say should be driving the Titanic?!? And you would you measure performance? 0-sinking? Time to quarter mile (ocean depth)? Seat bolstering (which probably makes a difference when the vehicle makes a gradual but extreme shift from horizontal to vertical)?

I was talking the base 400 hp vette not the 500 hp one. Ive seen a 11.6 1/4 mile in a GTR out there somewhere.

According to one member on this board, the 370Z feels much faster in a straight line than the Z06.

Anybody read the recent issue of MotorTrend? it has a review of the Boss in there, and they're claiming a 0-60 of 4.1 and a price estimation of 40-45k, but damn, 4.1 seconds, that sick!
