    Vette vs. Jet

    http://www.motortrend.com/june02/vette/1.html

    ...a best quarter-mile run of 9.24 sec at 150.27 mph. Perhaps more impressive, the 0-60 mph run -- the Holy Grail of acceleration measurements -- took less than 2.0 sec. No lie, no typo.

      I liked the test MacLaren did for the F1 better... 0-100-0... I think it was under 6 seconds. Shazbat, that is fast!

          McLaren F1's do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. That is way slower than this Lingenfelter Vette.

              Oh, agreed. I just liked the test. Must take nerves of steel.

                          This was done just this year:

                          Dodge Viper vs. Air Force F-16
                          http://www.motortrend.com/news/stories/020329dv.html
                          The viper won the 1/4 mile, and lost the 1/2 mile by just a little bit.

                                  Damn. That's a quick car.


                                  You can get those packages, upto 725 HP, on his website. It's only $50 grand on top of the Corvette price.

                                              Yup. Vettes are the best bang for the buck, and the lingenfelter package on top of it is again the best bang for the buck.

                                                      Indeed it is. It also costs $70k instead of $40k. But, I like the Viper, better, anyway.
