to add to this...i just got back from test driving an auto 96 vette, and imo MY mark feels faster...i know the vette is faster in reality, but the auto just took away from it completly

i think the 96's were only 300hp,unless they were grand sports then they were 330hp,but with automatics they were 300hp,so,yeah they are quicker but nothing like a newer c6.
cool cars anyway you slice em,just not most peoples cup of tea

told ya it WAS faster, but it just didnt feel it. prolly cuz i had tc on for a while which bogs down the motor instead of using the brakes like ours do.

...14.9 is fast.

Am I the only person who remembers the 20 years from 1973-1993 where 16 second stock quarter mile cars were "blisteringly fast" from the factory?

Actually, 14.9 is fast for any stock, mass producer car, regardless the decade.

watched a guy on barret jackson buy a 67 427 vette ($350,000) for his daugters 16th birthday present...........mad me f'in sick.

i absolutly love my uncles 06 z06 it is so damn fast but the comfort thing is the issue the seats suck in my opinion

Thats probably just what he told his wife....
