ZO6 3.5 seconds in 0-60? I seriously doubt the magazines who are supported in part by Chevrolet.

Remember, Car & Driver is the magazine that brought you a 0-60 speed of 4.8 seconds for a 1964 GTO back in late 1963. Hmmmmm.....yea, right. Point made.

Currently, R&T September tested the new Porsche Cayman S and it turned 5.4 seconds and in the current November issue states 4.8 seconds. While C&D states the exact same car turned 5.1 seconds. Conclusion? The magazines are all over the place and not to be believed verbatim. Even with temp variations, these speed and times are just too divergent.

Going from a Benz to a Chevy? Better get ready for a severe reality check. Those Benz owners who haven't realized it, you've been mercilessly spoiled by the build quality, design, comfort and features of your German AMG ride. Leaving the fold for a Chevy will result in a serious shock that you may not enjoy living with.
