I'm not sure I've experienced the same level of bog you guys are talking about. Maybe I'm not launching hard enough though ;)

Their track test was more in line with MotorTrend's figure 8 test lap than a real road course. With the cars in hand and available resources at Edmunds, they should have taken the cars to a proper...

That would be such a waste if they spent 2 days tracking the cars and they don't post lap times and other info/data from that event.

That's referencing the same exact Car and Driver test / data. I just wanted to point out that that wasn't a separate test.

The manual adds a ton of extra validation work and cost, including certification testing on that additional powertrain combo. I'm not surprised why they don't offer it, especially if the DCT is...

From the cross sectional pictures I've seen, the LT2 sits low, but not quite lower than the top of the tires.

I must have missed it. What's the story with the 10.6 timeslip being from early April? I could see the production intent cars being tested a few weeks before the Embargo lift date, but not 6 months...

MotorTrend ran a best time of 11.287 on the prepped dragstrip. Car and Driver did not post their best time, only an estimated time.

MotorTrend published runs (ie. for the C8 and ZL1) are two...
