Have they tested the new ZO6 on that track yet? I'm really interested in what it would run. Maybe they are afraid that they'd have to slide it's name up above some of their European power houses?

yea they did a long while back, they made fun of the suspension, the plastic interior, and the rear bumper. they mad fun of the suspension saying that you could feel every little rock on the road. then the interior, asking "how do they find all this plastic". and the rear bumper saying that if you ever backed into someone then they would really aprriciate the cushioning it did becuase it bent in.

I'm not entirely sure about gasoline, but I know they have a better grade of diesel fuel over there. Americans typically think of diesel as a truck fuel, as well as smelly, dirty, "a bi-product of the refining process", but it's very different across the pond. The major manufacturers are making hellaciously good diesel engines over there, with great results AND a lower cost of ownership.
