The V6s are "slow" because they are:
1) all autos (for now)
2) heavy

I dunno. It just puts a big smile on my face how briskly I walk away from GSRs, especially at high speeds.

Oh, I'm really praying for a low to mid 14 when I finally get around to running the 1/4. I didn't really say my car was fast though...

With my luck I'll get a low 15!
I really do pull hard on and walk away from known 14 second cars on the straits though, and am right on pace with 13-second cars (Vettes, M3s, Cobras...)

Yeah, I wish I could hang with a Z06... but stock C5s do <u>not</u> pull on me (above 80 anyway). Maybe 'cause I'm drafting off 'em
