That doesn't seem right... 4.9 seconds 0-60?? There's so bias going on here.

The stock GT500 has gone 0-60 in 4.4

Especially since the standard 500 horsepower GT500 has gone 4.4 in stock trim...

0-60: 4.4 Seconds;
Motor Trend magazine / Road & Track magazine

¼ Mile 12.257 Seconds at 117.18 MPH;

That wasn't entirely encouraging.

That's a very diplomatic understatement.

Let's face it, there is no comparisson. The Z06 is a complete car all around. Whether it would be a GT500 or the KR they are just not in the same league. Pair it against the Challenger or the upcoming Camaro and my money would be on the KR.
