New Car & Driver 0-200-0 Article
 
The owner and the driver of the Bumblebee GT are buddies of mine that I was with down in Bradenton a few weeks ago. I met the owner and the driver of the S7 and TT Gallardo that same weekend.

Some serious big money toys here:

If the competition was based on style, in my opinion the GT would of came in last. Thankfully C&D was only concerned about performance, and that GT Kicked ass.
:rocker:
Very nice collection of cars in that article.

Z06 > Viper > FGT ?? Step away from the crack pipe Mike.

I will have to say that I really wanted a FGT until I saw the Gallardo in person. The owner of the FGT presently has 2 of them in Heffner's shop and he had just taken delivery of a pearl orange Gallardo that weekend.

It's a good time to be in the oil and gas industry.

You must of had the same math teacher as Slow04 :twisted:

Lower E.T. in a race wins, even if the race is 0-200-0

26.5 (GT) is Faster than 30.7 (Viper), and you can't even count the Z06 because it couldn't finish the race that day. :shock:


....and now the small print for my lawyer friend.

If you were talking about "stock" vs "stock" than I completely agree with you.

:lol:

My math is just fine, I can divide any number by 3. :mrgreen:

I was referring to your comment that the GT would be last if the contest was based on style.

If it were based on style:

S7 > Lambo > GT > Viper > Z06.

Oh, and 288ggr is a lot of coin for a Vette not made in the 60s.

Fixed it for you. The GT is a great looking car, but it just doesn't seem to "fit in" with those other cars. Although I'd still take that particular GT over the other 4.
