OK so maybe he exaggerated. A base vette ain't all that either. The RX8 runs a 14.2 and the vette a 13.2. But if you look at the comparison it's still highly impressive. Maybe the vette owner was mildly retarded, overweight with his fat buddy next to him, driving a base stock vette that they had to squeeze into with an auto tranny that's begging for some maintenance. Who knows. Call me crazy but I believe him. Don't burst my bubble!!
