Aren't you the guy always saying that no one tracks their car and its all about 1/4 mile passes and street racing? I'm sure the Z06 and CTS-V can perform over the 11 second time interval that Dodge shines.

All kidding aside, I have been quite vocal that the 1.7L blower was a mistake. Chevy's aim has been to offer the most track capable cars on the market and the LT4 is not cutting it in that arena and the A8 doesn't belong there either. On the street, I'm sure the LT4 is fine but its not cutting it for track days. As MEDISIN points out, the CTS-V isn't really an ideal track car anyway.
