Regular 'Vette Motor Puts Out 400 HP?
argo1,
The write ups I've seen all say it's the ZO6 and quote 400 HP. Pictures shpw "LS6" on the engine.
Jamo,
Crap, I'll have to learn how the D100 works by Saturday!
I had a chance to run the A8L, 740iL, and S500 through the cones last month and the amount of computer intervention was amazing. After disabling as much of the traction, adaptive braking, and other controls as possible on each car, the electronic brains would still intervene.
We did get all three to slide through one particular hairpin, but each car assoultely refused to respond to any throttle input until all drifting had stopped. There you are, exiting a tight turn, sliding a little as you line up for the straight and .... NOTHING!..... for about 2 seconds. I guess the computers just knew I was about to commit suicide and stopped me!
You're right about the interiors. Nobody does it better than VW/Audi.
