Faster to 62mph than to 60mph. That’s the magic!

Where there is a “ /” should be the difference between the base and Z51. Base has all seasons and the Z51 has summer tires and different gearing.

4.89 axle r atio is high, and 5.17 for Z51 seems odd. Maybe that’s where the impressive 0-60 come from?

14 speakers seems like overkill, but then again, I’m sure it sounds great.

Actually, it may “seem” like an overkill but I have been in cars with “30 plus” speakers and 14 is kinda okay. It’s just 7 for eac h side.
I mean
- couple in each door - = 2 x 2 = 4
- 1 in each A pillar - 2
- 1 in each of B/C (?) pillar -= 2
- 1 on each corner of the dash = 2
- 2 in the middle of compartment = 2
- 2 in the roof?
Then again, I rarely used my radio, in my AMG or my SS, since I like to hear the exhaust.

Well even 4th gear is overdrive. I’d say you’re right - make the axle ratio crazy to provide awesome acceleration off the line, but make up for it with the gear ratios in the tranny.

I mean, it is a two-seater, so I do wonder just how good 14 speakers sounds in that.

11.3 in the quarter is moving! Must be that stiff stab bar.

Still have a 11.3 second quarter and 193 mph top speed, so doesn’t seem to be an issue.

All of these numbers are ridiculously impressive, especially for the price. That said, if I was in the market , I’d probably still spend more to get something slower (a 911).
Also, I was gonna mention how tall the gearing is in the transmission but the final drive ratio makes up for it (will still be tall gearing, just less ridiculously so).

Someone in my neighborhood has one. I have the hole in my front bumper to prove it...

Counterpoint: it’s Bose, so no.
Ive been consistently underwhelemed with Bose stereos. They sound muddy and flat. The 9 speaker Bose stereo in our Denali is an utter disappointment.

See above:
3 across the dash = 3
3 in the door (each door houses a subwoofer) = 6
2 to the side and behind each seat = 4
1 in between the seats = 1
= 14

Encountered them as well, 0/10, would not recommend.

The 10 speaker system loses the subwoofers and one of the other door speakers.

I don’t see the most important stat in there: the projected percentage of men in which erectile dysfunction is cured when driven for more than half an hour.
