no, but "Ferrari slayer" is! I believe the 2005 Ford GT can pull that one off. Ive always felt that Vets are also a tad overrated. Car and driver stated it costs too much for what it is (not the z06)

actually if you compare a vette and a porsche/ferrari, the performance numbers are pretty similar and the price is insanely lopsided... the Corvette is a great car for the price tag.

350Z wouldn't do too well, but an Evo would. Road and Track did a test last year where they tested an Evo in a batch with like an SLR McLaren, Murcielago, S7, and a bunch of other exotics, and the Evo held it's own pretty good (conisidering it had 1/2 to 1/3 as many cylinders as any of the others.
As far as Ferraris go, the term "Ferrari slayer" actually isn't that special anymore. As far as EDM's go, if you can say you've got a GT2 (or Carrera GT) slayer, then you've got something. Vettes and Vipers can only dream...

Went to a auto convention yesterday and saw some great cars. The newest of the new ,Corvette, Dodge Viper and the the Ford GT. which you can pickup for a cool $180,000 .
Acura had a real strong showing but I was dissapointed that Honda did'nt bring a Civic Si or anything remotely showing the performance side of thier product line.

yeah, my boss actually just showed me the pics for that a couple of weeks ago. there was some more that showed it actually happening. it was a big freakin nitrous backfire. melted the whole engine bay, and blew flames out all around the hood.

lmfao LEVIII
and even tho he said this longo ago, this is for polo:
a few months ago Car and Driver did a closed course test on a semi modded C6 vette and a modded Porce 911, the vette beat it out in every aspect, tho i believe the gear ratios and all that technical shat is better on the 911
^^hence why im stayin away from nitrous
