Default 2002 C5 Corvette and C5 ZO6 eats the Passat (was some other crap)?

Not very much of it is true, even the 1998 C5 that Charlie had posted a picture
at 205 MPH and that was years ago and they have gotten better. Come on over to
my house and we'll take mine out and bury those figure you puked and stay in 5th
gear. You sure are gullible or just full of ****.

A quick search came up with this -"It will likely be badged R36--thanks to the
new 3.6-liter V-6 from the Passat--and have between 280 and 300 hp". Not hardly
what you puked at all. Any search at all will come up with vintage 2002 Z06s
with more horse power than that at the rear wheels with no modifications. Others
with minimal modifications will do 400 RWHP. During the stock C6 tests they came
very close to 200 MPH by folding the mirrors back a taping off the front grill.

Quick question, why are they making the C6-R carry 160 pounds of extra dead
weight?

I do agree though, if you want "cheapest", get the VW, but then if you want the
best, marry for money. You don't need a fast car then, just try to keep up with
her/him.

Put down your magazines and do your home work.
