    I figured they would use the ACR in that kind of comparison, still would have been the cheapest car in the test I think. The SL looks the best, by far.

    thats what i was thinking. i'm digging the wide body on it, car just looks mean.

    the actually mag article, it showed all the 1/4 times, full weight of the vehicles, and everything.

    zr1 and viper both ran neck and neck with each other, like the 1/4 time, 60ft and 0-140 were all like .1 within each other.

    i don't think chevy wants to line up against that. but then again, the car isn't made for being quickest, just straight dominating that ass around a corner.

    it was a good article. i think the SL had the most interior space and the viper's was pretty limited, i can't remember exactly.
