How much more money does it cost over a Z06?
At first I thought this was an S version of the R8.... how do they compare a sedan to a sports car? There is nothing sporty at all about a S8. If I were shopping for a car I would never be cross shopping these. |

The point is, it's a 4600 lb full size luxury sedan that does 0-60 in 3.5 sec. Not that you should be looking at one if you're shopping for a two seater sports car.

The 0-60 time is the most important statistic to measure differences in cars in the world.

I wonder how their trap speeds compare. . . and I hate to say this, but, I would take the Z06 interior over the S8 exterior.
(now S8 interior on a Z06... sign me up for that blasphemous combo). |

sheeesh ...that S8 starts at $110,000 !
some serious clams ~ it better be fast to 60mph ------ However the magazine racers can point to Road & Track test of 3.6 secs for a Z06 to hit 60. Doubt the Z06 owner would get Quote:
------ I'm with you White out the Interior on that S8 is nice. |

Bragging rights on 0-60 times are cool and all, but if I was looking for a limousine to haul my clients around I would want the quiet torquemonster of a turbo diesel under the hood. A 270ish hp diesel will feel very powerful to the passengers and you can easily conduct a business discussion. Big sedans are not sports cars, they are business cars.
