| Re: Car and Driver: The Lightning Lap How the hell did the Viper, Elise, Caymen and Vette beat the M6??? They probably forgot to push the power button...  Im starting to think C&D reviews are bull sh*#. It should have been like this. Z06, Ford GT, M6, SRT10, Vette, Elise, then Caymen.

| Re: Car and Driver: The Lightning Lap I think for M6 they forgot to push the power button, but there is no way the M6 could ever take an SRT-10 Coupe on the track. I've noticed that the SRT-10 is american comparisons always gets numbers very close to the ZO6 and GT On secound tought maybe and most certainly it's because they use the SRT-10 Coupe not the SRT-10 Roadster.

| Re: Car and Driver: The Lightning Lap its probably unlikely the M6 would outgun the SRT 10 however: SportAuto, Nürburgring (Nordschleife): BMW M6 -------------------------------------------------- 8.09 min Viper SRT-10 --------------------------------------------- 8.13 min Hockenheim BMW M6 -------------------------------------------------- 1.14,4 min Viper SRT-10 --------------------------------------------- 1.14,9 min 0-200km/h BMW M6..............................................12 ,8 Viper SRT-10...................................14.0 slalom 130 km/h - BMW M6 127 km/h - Dodge Viper SRT-10 although i was looking at it and they did use the roadster but still....

| Re: Car and Driver: The Lightning Lap I kinda like the 350Z, you can buy a used one here in Sweden for a good price. Might be a car for me in the future
