Dammit, why do they have to show this stuff at the same time as Raw?

It should only be a 5-8 minute feature.

Maybe the ladies will be wrestling at that time, so you should have time to flip channels. One can always read about RAW. Not that often one gets to see a GT Road Test!

Thought the segment was really WEAK! The usual lame corporate video.

I thought the info. was out dated. It said the car would have 500hp. We know that has been pushed to 550hp. I also believe the 0-60 times were of the past. For the price, this car better be hitting 60mph in the low 3sec range or the Viper will be boasting the same performance for half the cost. :geek:

I don't see what the point was of them or anyone else doing "test articles" on it, since a real full-spec production model hasn't been built yet.

I read somewhere that it wasn't just putting out 550hp, but it was 565 at the wheels.

The 0-60 time should be better than just about any other car simply based on the lack of a 1-2 shift before 60mph.

The GT isn't targetting the Viper and 0-60 times, but cars farther up the food chain like Ferrari.

It doesnt' really matter who they are targeting, the magazines are going to compare them like they did a few months ago. Also, if you own one, you are more likely going to be pulling up to a Viper rather than a Ferrari.
