Take into consideration that these are magazine numbers. Many hot shoes will beat these numbers, but for 66K, if you could get one for that you get a car that eats anything under 175K. 11.7@125mph 198mph Add a blower or juice and I bet you will see some low 10's@135mph++

It's leaf spring, not springs (don't be thinking leaf springs as used in trucks or older cars). In the vette it's a single, composite, transverse mounted spring incorporated into a short/long arm (SLA) setup with double wishbone, cast aluminum upper & lower control arms, and monotube shock absorbers. And since the car pulls close to 1.0g on the skidpad, it obviously works .

The Zo6 does 196mph (stock) I do not think you will find a stock 2005-2006 motorcycle that will do 196mph.
