oops, my bad. i read it wrong. i guess the c5 z06 is faster than a 6 cylinder mustang by .55 seconds around this track.

Who knows...I am always a bit more suspicious of cars that are provided for press days..

you and your conspiracy theories!!

So, it's not a supercar. That's ok, it's still awesome.

no its not a supercar but it still beat an audi r8, porsche boxter spyder, corvette grand sport c6,bmw m3, 370z, porsche cayman s, c5 zo6, and a host of other cars!! all without having idealized settings!! from the looks on how the $90,000 z06 carbon ran, i bet the c6 z06 would have ran similar times as the Boss 302 on this track as well!!!
next one in line was the GTR so the Boss is putting itself in good standing on the totem pole. its right there with the big dogs.
