I can confirm those. To be honest, anything that can do 0 - 60 in under 5 seconds hurts. Seriously, make sure you are planted in your seat before taking off. Otherwise its like not having a 12 gauge shotgun planted firmly when fired.

No sh*t. I've got a buddy who built a monster 454 for his Firebird (we give him a lot of crap about having a $20,000 engine in a $2,000 car :p ). He launched it a few times on a back road one day and I about lost my lunch.

Of course, just about any production motorcycle will do 0-60 in 4 or less and the 1/4 in less than 11 seconds. :p

Baddest grocery-getter EVER. ;)

weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a chance to drive an A6 2.7T over Xmas. As fast as that thing is, I can only imagine the S6 or RS6 must be brutal. Hell, the A6 pulls hard right through 100 if you keep your foot down. Very impressive.

Have you been gone from Canada that long?

Your forgetting the long time undisputed champion of Canadian drag racing, the '95-'00 Pontiac Grand Am.
I have a '95 Grand Am. You speak the truth :) I am not from Canada.

Damn you both, I keep telling myself I don't need a Z28 or SS Camaro (you know, maturity?), did you really have to say that?

:D

Why has nobody mentioned the Corvette, both regular and Z06? I know the Z06 can do it, and I think the regular 6 speed can, too.

The Z06 is 4 flat IIRC, with the regular 6-spd a half second or so slower.

[EDIT]I'm not finding solid numbers on the Z06, but it's most definitely under 5 - FAR under 5.[/EDIT]

Otherwise its like not having a 12 gauge shotgun planted firmly when fired. Then again the seats need a little give too. I now see why alcantara is used as seating material in racing seats. The perfect blent of grip and give.

Does the Ford SVT Lightning count since it does 0-60 in 5 flat?

Windogg

I don't think a Lightning can do it in under 5 seconds. 5.5 seems reasonable but 5 flat doesn't. Modded yes but not from factory. (I'm sure John can chime in and tell us if his can or not) :)

According to this place the 2001 model hit 0-60 in 5.6 seconds.

That looks like it came from an auto trend mag.
