An 8 second DD is incomprehensible! Although the new ZO6 is a 10 second car from the factory on pump gas and street tires, so the whole world is kind of nuts.
No shit, as I get older the idea of a street car changes wildly.

you haven't driven in a new Mustang with a great tuner tuning the trans. my car drives like stock, you cant even tell that I have a 4300 stall converter.. Still have A/C and cruise control. I drive this car every other day and have driving down as far as 300 miles one way from home without missing a beat.

here is a video of my friends wifes car..

Free coffee and doughnuts.

I think Carlos has done a great job of spending a grip of cash on upgrading his C6, but probably hasn't seen as much track time as he'd like.
