He sure feather footed that car out of 1st and 2nd. Love to see quarter mile numbers with the only change being drag radials.

Ok, I smirked when I saw your comment...does that count for me thinking it was funny?

Why would I not like it? I'm planning on putting one in the garage, so I am tickled to death at the numbers it's getting.

And yes, if you smirked, it counts.

Wow, that is quite a strange set up, look almost out of place to be the lowest part of the car to the ground. i Wont be surprise when people start lowering there cars and damaging these going over some rough terrain, maybe not speedbumps since its aligned with the wheels but something.

I know its not that low right now,and your not gonna go 4wheeling with this car but . by far a strange set up

5 second 0-60? My wifes car will do that.

Definately can't say they didn't heat the tires up.

Stupid Edmunds...

They actually got 4.7 (and 4.6 if memory serves) but they don't like to report that one, because it wasn't literally from "0".(more like 2, or 3 mph to 60 like every other magazine in the world does...)

Sounded like the manual tranny. So the 13 sec. 1/4 mile would work.

Maybe need a better driver though.

I particularly enjoy the drifting at the end of the vid. Pretty effective way of reducing the amount of tread on the rear tires

Hot Rob Magazine got their SS M6 into the 12's on a cold, unprepped part of the Milford Proving Grounds!!!

That's one of the few mags I'd trust to a really representative time; though, Motor Trend gets some pretty good times - sometimes...

Just a hair too much body roll in that slalom. Would love to see a nice Hotchkis or similar suspension upgrade. Still for a stock SS setup....impressive!

I think for the driver at hand this car is freakin amazing! Can't wait to see what a really good driver can do.

Well nice to see/hear that she'll chirp 1st through 3rd.

The drifting action at the end is particularly nice to watch. I can't wait to see Top Gear's footage of pure hoonage.

Interesting, thanks for clearing that up
