- Quarter mile time is low 11's.
- It can go from 0 to 100 mph in less than 12 seconds


So the viper is the only car that can run the 1/4 mile in 11sec under 100mph!

They probably meant 0-100-0 mph ?

Lol...The old GTS did 0-100 in 8.8 seconds. I'm surprised that after all these weeks we still cant get any leaked numbers just speculation on numbers..

Like I said, too much ignorance from these car review groups. Instead of looking for someone that went to college for journalism, find a guy that is a true car guy at heart so that way he can understand the "soul" that each vehicle has. Then, find out how good he is at grammar. There is a few good ones. Drive has done some good videos. Especially the Driven series.

Ralph....let the guys at Drive do a Driven show on you and your team in regards to the Gen V. Then, let Chris Harris test it. You will sell more cars than letting auto mags that highlight how the 1% are driving these cars and that because it doesn't have a flappy paddle gearbox, it is better suited for a caveman. (I'm referencing MotorTrend btw)

Besides, we all know that Chevy will roll out the Vette and all the big car magazines will say how much better it is than the Viper because of the automated manual transmission and it will be easier for them to drive hard.

Interesting

I thought the review was good. As for the flappy paddles, even Ralph admitted that its inevitable even for the snake

The ZR1...7.5 secs to 100......quick to say the least.

Well, they didn't say it took 12 sec to hit 100mph, just under. Way under.
