Default How fast

I am considering a 06 Goat. I cannot find any hard #s. My search is not working at all. What could I expect out of a 06 m6 goat. I need 1/8th mile, 0-60 and stuff like that. I want a fast car, American V8 rumble, and a back seat. Is the Goat for me?

yes and real world is no better than magazine BS because the skill level of this guy on here vs that guy on here will most likely be different anyway..

I think 0-60 is below 5 sec. and I think the average 1/4 is in the low 13's

High 12's, low 13's is about typical depending on driver skill, atmospheric conditions and track surface prep.

I know a guy that has an 05 automatic and he ran 12.7 @108 with just Nittos and the TQ management removed. I think it ran 13.2 when it was all stock.
If you are interested in a new GTO then go drive one. I drove my friends the other day and fell in love. It was like riding in a BMW. I compared it to my 03 Cobra by saying "this makes my cobra feel like a haywagon".
The Cobra was faster though.
