Fikse, you ran an 11.66 not too far behind an SLR for 1/4 the price

$400k and that? Naaaa

I would of expected more to be honest... that is what a E55 with 125 shot or a CL65 with ECU upgrade will run....this is not including a z06 and a GT500 with a bolt on or two......not impressed....not for the coin ... no way...Looks and rarity maybe but not what I would expect in today's realm of Exotics and semi-Exotics......I am sure the weight is an issue with this beast.... all Benz's tip the scales as we know..they are built well I will say

that's the point, it runs that stock.... you can mod anything to make it quicker.... nobody said the SLR was a bargain....

as far as todays exotics, only a few cars can perform that way stock..... Ford GT, Enzo, CGT.....

here is a smart car smacking down a F430...

the Z06 is incredible.... it outperforms just about anything...... I'm waiting for the 600HP Viper.... I've had my GTS for 8 years and 600HP stock has me ready to go for the new one....

Just for comparison stock ZO6's on stock rubber run 11.60's to 11.80's at 124 and change at Moroso.

Nice viper fikse. My father used to have the same one. It is probably the most memorable car that I think we ever had. Not to mention one heck of a head turner.. He always said when the new coupe comes out he would buy one right away but unfortunately he hurt himself and can no longer ride in sports cars.

A trap speed of 126.5 mph with a weight of 3900 pounds puts the crank HP right at 616 - dead nuts on to the car's rated HP. Nice.

I have ran an 11.5 in my bone stock C6 Z06 and I have a best trap of 126 mph.
That was my 4th pass on the car ever. If I can run the car 4-5 more times I am sure I can get it to run 11.39-11.4x@126+ mph. There have been more than a dozen of people that ran 11.3-11.4 in a bone stock C6 Z06 in stock runflats.

Does that take away from the greatness of the SLR? No, but it does have an influence on the undeniable stellar performance of the Z06!!

I am also very excited for the 08 Viper and looking forward to its performance stats.

I'm not sure what the point of this post was? We already know the ZO6 can run low 11's at 126+ but............... let be serious. I can pretty much guarantee you that............ NO ONE!!!!! cross shops the Mercedes Mclaren and Chevy ($450,000 vs $75,000). If price was the only determining factor in the purchase of a car, Ferrari would be out of business.
