"Own" what at the track? The Gallardo? I doubt it. The new Plastic mess-06 is probably on par with the Gallardo at the track, and that's where I'd leave it. As for the Nurburgring numbers of 7:43 for the Plastic mess-06, the Gallardo has been timed at a similar pace. And if price is directly proportional to performance in the exotic/supercar world, I guess you can't justify the price of an Enzo, CGT or Pagani? Why don't you ask 10 people who can afford a Lambo if they would rather have a Plastic mess-06. What answer do you think you'll get? I love all these POS nut huggers coming to the Lambo sites to say "gee, it's funny how the new Plastic mess-06 can beat a Lambo, huh?". Wow. Better trade up for a POS. Here are a list of cars that the Plastic mess-06 can either outperform, or is on par with in terms of performance: Gallardo Diablo F430 360/CS 575 512TR Ford GT 911 GT2 911 GT3 Esprit Turbo V8 SL55 Guess which of those cars I would rather have than a Plastic mess-06? ANY ONE OF THEM. I am actually looking for a G-car as we speak, but, lets give credit where it is due. The Plastic mess-06 will beat almost EVERY car on that list with the only car being on par with it is the FGT. As far as the track, the Z should beat every single one of those cars mentioned. The G-car ran a 7:52 at the ring compared to the 7:42.9 for the Plastic mess-06. The Plastic mess-06 also ran a 0-150 in 17.5 secs!! No comparison to any of the above except for the FGT and the Diablo. The rest are history. At the end, i am looking for a G-car right now, and not a Plastic mess-06 for obvious reasons. But that does not take away from what the Plastic mess-06 can do. jmo

Well, look at it this way. Here is what RT got for the following cars: Ford GT [email protected] .8 secs/10 mph off (Has ran a 11.2@131) Viper SRT 10 [email protected] .8 secs/8 mph off (Has ran a [email protected]) Murcielago [email protected] 1 secs/6 mph off (Has ran a 11.6@124) C6 [email protected] .4 secs/6 mph off (Has ran a 12.7@114) Now, the C6 Plastic mess-06 [email protected] .9 secs/8-11 mph off So the inconsistantcy is consistant from R&T! Also, I have a friend that lives nearby and his dad is higher up in GM. He said that his dad drove the car at Beechbend (Worst track ever) and ran a 12.0@126, and he will be sending me the video tomorrow. I can post it here if you would like. Just thought I would share

Oh, and more thing I would like to mention. C&D also tested the Plastic mess-06 and that issue is also out. They, like MT, got similar times. 0-60 - 3.6 1/4 - 11.7@125 0-150 17.5 secs

Ya, I read that too. I thought it was funny. I ran those exact times- 12.3@116, in my bone stock C5 Plastic mess-06.. For anyone that is not familiar with how terrible R&T is, here are some numbers from their recent 1 mile shootout issue: Ford GT [email protected] Viper SRT 10 [email protected] Murcielago [email protected] C6 [email protected] I think it is clear from here that R&T is the last source I would go by to measure a cars performance, when you are mag racing that is.

Not at all, your post was fine. This was just a pre-emptive warning about how L-Power members will soon escalate their insults on the POS and its ownerbase as this thread grows, and POS owners will be tempted to similarly escalate their responses. Don't do it. Not a message to you necessarily, I meant it as a message to future POS fans that will be arriving soon as this topic will no doubt attract them like flies. That is fine. They can insult all they want. I can caareless what people say about the car. It will never take away the fact that it is one of the quickest cars on the market today. Geesh, you guys are jumpy.. :mrgreen:

0-Dash rattles, cracked pleather, 100 identical C6s at every stop light in 17 secs.... PS - Any hillbilly POS fans that register on L-Power simply to pump the Plastic mess-06 into some sort of heroic car here are fine, no problems with that. But the second you get insulting, at all, or even if I decide I simply don't care for your tone, you are GONE. This is our house. Respect it. In our house, we can insult the piss out of that Fisher-Price plastic fantastic mobile if we choose. Don't think you can respond with equal vinegar and survive here. Our house. Carry on. I am disrespecting it because I am in awe that the car did 0-150 faster than almost any production car on the market? Are you serious?

0-Dash rattles, cracked pleather, 100 identical C6s at every stop light in 17 secs.... I know it. Isn't it great? :mrgreen:

0-150 in 17 secs...
