2010 Vette GS: 3.9 sec 0-60 mph / 12.2 sec @117mph 1/4 mile

I anticipate the Z28 being faster than the CTS-V, but even if it is I wouldn't say it is going to smoke the GS Vette. |
Wait a minute...If you look at the CTSV stats tested by Motortrend the same mag you used to test the Grand Sport. You'll see the stats are almost identical. 12.3 in the 1/4@117 mph. 0-60 in 4.0 secs. The power to weight rato is the same for the CTSV and the GS.
Now if you put the 556hp CTSV engine in a 4000lb Camaro. (current weight is 3800lbs.) The power to weight ratio is a lot better for the Camaro. If the Camaros HP comes in at 575HP or more...obviously the advantage grows. Expect to see 2012 Z28s in the 11's in the 1/4.
But having said all that. I think the GS is a nice car. I hope you enjoy it. I personally would wait for the Z/28. Unless of course you can get both.
