It seems 4.2 as quoted by Chevrolet is a bit optimistic. They aren't exactly known for quoting things conservatively (as German marques are).
I don't think it would take that much longer to go 2.138889 more mph. Maybe it comes down to the way the magazines quote their figures. Road & Track does runs in opposite directions and gives averages, but I don't know how the other magazines do it. |
We shouldnt forget that all carmags dont meassure the acceleration the same. Some have two people in the car some only use one. Then someone has a full tank and someone might use a tank with not much fuel.
As you can see, the acceleration to 100km/h was slower than M3 and SLK55 but to 200km/h, the acceleration was the same for all cars. When meassure 0-100km/h then the start has to be very good. A bad start and the 0-100 time wont be good, it all up to the driver.
Or maybe is so easy that american carmags do the best they can to make their car look good on paper, I mean they might write a better time than they actually got and same goes for germancarmags
Its something we cant proove but who reall knows.
BTW what does "polotics" mean?
