American Exotics -- Performance Numbers

We just tested the cars, but unfortunately I can't remember all the numbers we got. But I do remember 1/4-mile times (always my real benchmark for performance...must come from my drag racing days of youth...). Anyway, they stack up like this (these numbers are uncorrected, so figure about 3/10ths off each to account for the altitude of our facility):

• Ford GT: 1/4-mile 11.91 seconds
• Chevrolet Corvette Z06: 1/4-mile 12.10 seconds
• Dodge Viper Coupe: 1/4-mile 12.80 seconds

Yup, these cars are all very FAST!! With the corrected number for the GT coming in around 11.6 seconds...well, there are only about three street legal production cars ever made that are clearly quicker, and they all cost A LOT more and are A LOT harder to acquire (McLaren F1, Ferrari Enzo, Bugatti Veyron).
