Since there's been so many comparisons between the C6 and 911 and Cayman, I thought that this week's AW's report on the C6 was an interesting read. First off AW had to make multiple runs to get the C6 to break 5 secs in the 0-60, and then the C6 performed poorly in AW's slalom course. Even the Mustang beat the C6 around the slalom, and the Mustang was almost one MPH quicker around the course. The 911 was almost 3 MPH faster than the C6 in the slalom. I'm certain that there will be lots of rationalizations on the Vette forums as to why the C6 peformed so poorly.

When I read about that C6's poor performance I wondered if they got a dud for testing. Zero to 60 should be somewhere around 4.5.

Check out the new Motor Trend. "911 vs. Z06, Vantage V8, Cayman S". Good read
