Ford GT Pic...

The speedo was just one of several test runs in THIRD gear...

Uhh, there is no way this car is doing 140 in 3rd with a 3.36 rear axle, a 1.23:1 3rd gear, and 18"/19" rims.

I was just reading this:

They said

"The balance of the shifts occurred at the following speeds: Second to third at 93 mph; third to fourth at 126 mph; and we never needed fifth."

You're right...

I was a bit pissed at Buddha for not believing me. We started the pull in third. The photographer took that picture in fifth gear. Sorry for the mix up on that.

Leave it to one of our own magazines to correct me!

I don't work for any mags

I knew that the math did not add up on that. I race my Z06 and it has similar gearing.

I meant you found it in one of ours...

One of our vette mags just shot the first Z06 going down the assembly line, I think it was Corvette Fever...

I meant that I did not need a mag to see a problem with that. The math just did not add up. I searched for a link to back up what I already knew.

The C6 Z06 is going to be a monster value.

Gee...

I guess Buddha has nothing more to say.... :shrug:

Buddha doesn't visit the site as much as the rest of us.
It's a dead issue.
I don't know who is right, or do I care.
Don't go looking for the " I was right and you were wrong appology".
Probably won't happen.
Just let it be.

Ratzo...

He's actually got a valid point, and I can understand it would be hard to believe my statement. I was just giving him more detail as to why I had the car and that I wasn't bullshitting him. I only offered more detail because his last statement about his GM miffed me...

It is a dead issue, I only checked this post because I saw your name and thought maybe Buddha had posted something...

Now, back to breaking in my Savage and asking more Savy questions...
