@Boston1775 it wouldnt be worth it, both of these cars would have crossed the finish line before a ZO6's wheels had stopped spinning, all you yanks worry about is power, you dont care about how its delivered,and that is why every car that comes out of america is a massive piece of turd, the new ZO6 is a fine example of this, the power is just thrown at the wheels and doesnt grip the road untill 3rd gear and its made out of wheely bins, its a pile of shit

@TAppo2k9 You're statement is so full of shit, it's almost humorous.

[p4horror]

@paladain55 That's how it is for any high horsepower cars. Unless you get some slicks or radials. The same can be said for TT Supras as well as many, many others. He straight out states that the Escort and the Lotus will beat a Zo6 which is so full of shit. Just another American car hater with diarrhea of the mouth. Unlike that turd, I do love the Lotus which brought me here in the first place. But my unbiased expert opinion is the ZO6 will so beat the Lotus and annihilate the Escort.

@p4horror what he is talking about is how corvettes are either spinning there wheels or struggling down low. you know that initial dog crawl?

[paladain55]

@TAppo2k9 lol. even my dads mustang. one of the very major improvements was rear suspension, and gt500 tires. he has a 08gt. probably about 365bhp putting down 0-60 in about 4.1 and thats from a 3500lb car..

This is not a fair race. You want fair race with the same displacement etc? OK ! 3.500cc V8 Twin turbo VS 3.500cc V6 Twin turbo. Espirit V8 VS Jaguar XJ220. 355ps vs 550ps SUCK IT ! ! You want more?? XJ220S with 689ps. SUCK IT TWICE ! ! LMAO. Now go and play with your dream skateboard. CIAO AMIGOS.

@TAppo2k9 You're a flaming piece of dog turd and your 16 butt pirate buddies. Do you think the Z06 would have any problems beating the crap out of these two small game cars? Yeah, that's what I thought. Choose death hater.

@CannocheeAirsoft Yep the new Mustangs are cool as hell. But dont tell anyone i said it, ok ;)

[CannocheeAirsoft]

@aircooledwizard imnot gonna lie we build some shitty cars but what about the news mustangs, just look up 2011 mustang vs M3. We're getting better at building cars mate well ford is anyways

[aircooledwizard]

@TAppo2k9 Usually the power is thrown at the wheels via cart springs.....

[aircooledwizard]

Oh god here we go, the yanks are arguing the toss about their cubic inches and quarter mile times. Maybe if they learnt to make a car handle properly they would have something to shout about. Instead they build second rate tat that only yanks buy. Ive driven a Z06 and its utter shyte. Ive spent my entire life around cars and if i have ever been stuck with one i couldnt shift, it was Korean or American.
