motortrend ran 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and 1/4 mile at 11.6 @ 125.7mph. it's pretty incredible.

I don't believe they were ever officially sold in the UK.

It was one of the things the English were bitching about since they helped develop the original.

Yep. Bone stock. And according to Livernois, this car is still gaining power as it loosens up a bit. It's up to 613rwhp now. That's around 80 hp MORE than a Corvette ZR1, over a hundred more than a Camaro ZL1, and nearly 200 hp more than a Z06.

Nice... but it has to lug around 400lbs more than a ZR1 and 800 more than a Z06. Plus get back to me on what it dynos after running around a track for 15 minutes in the summer.

It's a cool car, but not my style at all. It'd take the new Boxster S over the piggy...



EDIT - had to change my weights. Surprised the car is under 3900lbs... figured 4100ish.

How did I know Brian would show up as soon as I mentioned a Corvette. I'm only comparing numbers because they're the other big power American V8s.

The Boxster's not just gay, it's a $60,000 entry-level vagina with wheels whereas the GT500 is so manly that its balls have balls, and those balls are made of forged steel.
