Default looking for REAL numbers

since ill never find out myself, i wanted to ask some of you about my new vette....

is there somewhere on the net i can find the real test drive numbers for my car... the 0-60 times and 1/4 speeds and the real top speed... and whether or not my car has a governed top speed.....

again, its the 07 coupe, and i dont think i have that z51 or whatever it is... but i do have the lt3 or ls3 or whatever the option package is...

Default RE: looking for REAL numbers

The performance of a standard 2007 model (400 Hp) won't differ from the 2005 reviewed in the thread below: 0-60 in under 5 seconds and quarter mile in thethe high 12s. Some people will tell you the car is a a couple of tenths of a second faster (and there are Car and Driver and Motor Trendtests to confirm that), but these times are pretty representative of what you'll get if you drive the car hard but don't abuse it with high-RPM dropped clutch launches, etc.

As to top speed the car does not have a governed top speed but runs out of power at around 185 or so, although it takes a long time for it to accelerate much beyond 165.
