Z06 review...0-60 under 4 seconds?????

There's a review of the new 405hp Z06 in the paper today that says...and I quote....

"Extra muscle becomes apparent in an off-the-line rush of acceleration, which consumes less that four seconds before the speedometer registers 60 mph."

"And it can charge to the quarter-mile mark in 12.4 seconds flying past at 116 mph."

It also says Chevrolet won't commit to an offical top speed either. That my friends is American muscle at it's finest. And under $50k , I'll take the blue one please.
