First Drive: 2008 Chevrolet Corvette - It seems like only moments ago when the Corvette C6 was introduced — a new, leaned-down package filled to the brim with the latest high-performance technology developed by the small group of Vette-dedicated engineers. (more)

Full Test: 2008 Chevrolet Corvette - Part of the secret of excellent performance lies in our test car's horsepower and torque figures. The standard Vette is available with an optional two-mode exhaust system that premiered on the current-generation Z06. The 2.5-inch-diameter exhaust has two outlet valves (one for each side of the exhaust system). (more)

Alright, my bad I didn’t realize that the 0 to 60 was with a one foot roll out, but you can diffidently find a 2010 Camaro SS in the low 30,000’s on Edmunds, the only way its over 40k is if you get it fully loaded. It still has over a hundred horsepower over the GT, and has a faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile, so the weight can’t be killing it that much. You can also find a 08 corvette for less than 40K with fewer than 10,000 miles on it. Edmunds tests say it can run a 0 to 60 4.5, and a ¼ mile of 12.8, just as quick as the Mustang GT500 for a littl less money.
