1. Unbelievable performance from the Viper's brakes. It went from the worst brakes in the exotic groups last year, to the BEST! this year.
2. Three cars under 4 second 0-60 runs!!!
3. Three cars under 12 second 1/4 mile runs!!!
4. Look at that $50K Z06 beat the $250K 575M in the 0-100-0 test! Also in the 60-0 and 100-0 tests! I cant wait to see what the C6 Z06 will do.
5. 600 Ft slalom. Look at the EVO and even the Z06 get the 2nd and 3rd places!
6. The CL 55 AMG runs 187 mph top speed and when MT called Mercedes to tell them, Mercedes said, "of course...that is what we expected...we only took out one out of TWO speed limiters...the first one stops at exactly...187mph" !!!
7. Finally, too bad they could not get the full top speed of the cars due to track size issues.

Damb, pretty cool.
Z06 isn't $50k, more like 60 right? Either way it's a good for the $.
I had no clue what a Mosler MT900 Photon was until now. Crazy.
EDIT: Just checked chevrolet's site. $52k (hardtop) interesting.

Notice the higher trap speed of the Viper in the 1/4 mile compared to the Lambo. Which means that with slicks, the Viper would have been beating the Lambo's time (Lambo is AWD).
