The writer from Kit Car mag called it "seamless" after his demo ride.

It's a hoot! And, uh, no 'vette I've ever been in will do that, although I've heard Callaway has made a few

Hey, before you guys make fun of the Corvette, you really should know a little bit more about it.

Here are some specs on the 2004 Z06 with "only" 405 NET HP (not gross, like we've been talking here)

Look at the Z06 weight, and performance:Vette

3118 lbs
1.0g on the skid pad
70+ mph in the slolam
3.9 seconds to 60
12's in the quarter
171 MPH top end
18 - 28 MPG

All of that in a car with all kinds of electronic toys and comfort. And yes, it is a completely seemless torque curve.

The car has a split personality, it can be nice to you and it can be a race car.

And that's nothing compared to the new 2006 Z06. . .
