Again not saying the Shelby is not fast, but the Inside Line times (which are what the average joe would get) were not that great
Why is the CTS-V even being brought up? Pretty close doesn't mean a thing when it comes to racing.

When it comes to 0-60 times, 3.7 seconds is pretty quick, even if you have 660 horsepower. It all comes down to aerodynamics, how well the car launches and how good of a driver you have. If conditions are right, and you have a great driver, they could knock off .1-.3 seconds off any 0-60mph (for any car).

-On a side note: it's funny how we consider 4.0 seconds for 0-60mph "slow" these days. I remember when we considered 4.5 seconds just a few years ago quick. I remember when 6.5 seconds was considered decent lol. Mind you, I'm in my early 20's, so...
