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.

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

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.


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

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

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

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.
