And I'm pretty sure that 6 HP won't change the 0 to 60 times..................at least to what you would see on a stop watch.

Guys, I finally got to sit in a ZL1 yesterday. Black on Black, #1031 in Colorado Springs, on the showroom floor.

It was a religious experience. I couldn't even get in at first. It was like there was a force field around the car. My knees were feeling weak.

ZL1, the Kate Beckinsale of automobiles.

As soon as I find a new job, I will be back in there.

I'll get my teeth whitened, because the ULTRAGRIN will be more impressive that way.

No I didn't say it wasn't. I did say that the cage helped in this roll over.




Sans cage, it there would have been more damage. By no means does this detract from the robust structure of the 5th Gen off the assembly line.

Your teeth would have to combine in a gazillion watt smile for anyone to notice the two of you standing next to a pair of ZL1s and Kate.
