Well here is a post by a friend of mine fellow new jersian and fellow LS1tech member that ran his stock 06 C6 auto 6-speed at Atco Raceway park 3-19-06. Pretty close to the 11's with a auto 6-speed

12.48@112.11 on a 1.88 60 ft.

12.48 is a hell of a long way from 11.99.

Again, IT'S NOT HAPPENING.

That's a test mule. It's "disguised" intentionally. Stupid you I guess.

Haha, the big red button on the dash is an "emergency stop" button. I saw one of the full bodied GT500 cars that they were doing testing on last year in a parking lot, and it had that huge button with a big label on it. There were also a bunch of warning labels over the car about how it hadn't been certified in federal crash tests, etc.

Yes, I happen to be one of them...my favorite band ever.

I love those Mustangs. I'd take one over a C6. I have pretty much grown to hate GM again though. Only things they got right now that I like is the ZO6, and the G6 GTP 2 door. Well throw in the the CTS-V and XLR. Carroll Shelby is the man...still.

Just my 2 cents.

considering the music, i'm willing to bet the video was put together by a fan.

looks like a slideshow of photos and then the early test mule of the Cobra.

wel i sure hope the 500 would be a little faster than a sock c6 its only pushing a 100 more hp. Run it vs the z06 they both push around the same hp see what happens ??? I am betting on the zo6 since it is a mid to high 11 sec car .
