So maybe there is a 3200 lb version of the base car that can trim off 2-3 tenths to 60 and 2 in the 1/4 but it is probably bare bones and at that point I wouldn't go for it.
Even at 4.7 and say 13.4 it will lose. It will jump off the line well but the V8 will pull hard and pass it around 80 mph. Motor Trend often puts out times that are never reached again. I never trust them since no other test reviews can ever get what they claim consistantly.

Oh yea, it will loose to the SS, im not arguing that, im just saying the handling goes to Z and the straights go to SS, however it will be closer than people think to 60... SS will pwn in drag.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
