And I'm willing to pit any factory import you have against the new ZO6 on any type of race you'd like.
Remember this important tidbit. Jap cars have small motors because theres a 'displacement tax' over in Jap land. Thats the only reason - everything else is just a biproduct of that.
he does have a riced out fiero, but it has the balls to back it up. he also has a honda electric car and a hybrid. someone even posted a video on TR where is talking about how impressed he is with honda's hybrid motor. he has old/new/import/domestic/exotic, and motorcyles out the ass from everyplace as well. all im saying is that you guys are closed minded, saying a certain make is a pile of shit, even when that make has beaten many records in auto racing. but we are in america where we dont have first hand access to these types of races. take for instance the NSX, sure you may think its a pile of shit, but it has beaten many track records in its time. i never knew that either until someone let me barrow a video on the history of that car. even the civic is used widely in auto racing overseas.
and yes, i agree the z06 is the fastest factory car, and is a great deal for the price. the only other place you can find as fast a car is exotics that cost well over the price of a vette.
