Also if you look close he only gets to 190, 200 is the last line on the spedo. That is still damn fast but it is not a deuce. Another side of the mph claim is speedo error.

What is not believable? So it just happens to go 0-120 in 12 seconds? Notice start time of the run is :14 into the video, and hits 120mph at :26. Thats right on the money with this car's performance. Looks to me like he lifted, and jumped on the clutch and brakes at the end. They stop like a **** too.

In that Motor Trend article, they did a standing mile test but nothing flat out. I like the 1/4 runs of the C6 with 11.1@151, Viper pulls a 10.5@152, then F/A-18 clocks a 10.5@158.

Having made a pull in a 666 Vette I can tell you they DO move VERY Quick. I remember pulling the shifter into 5th and realizing I HAD just pulled the shifter into fifth at over 7,000. From looking at trh video I am going to guess I lifted at 170 or so. We did not slow down that fast as I remember but it was almost a year ago.

I can not decide if it is on a dyno or not.

One thing I definately remember is how smooth and quite the car was over 100mph.

Brutaly fast car no matter how you cut it!
