This is my 2003 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. The car has 405hp @ 6000rpm and 400 lb/ft of torque @ 4800rpm, does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, and the 1/4 mile in low 12's (some people have broken 11's stock). It does Nürburgring in under 8 minutes (one of only a handfull of street cars that can do that), does 1.03g's on the skidpad and the slalom in ~70mph, has a drag coefficient of .29, and weighs only 3115lb's (3280 with me in it at the track).

The Z06 is a serious street machine and is good for the road and track. Yes it will beat your Honda in the corners. No it doesn't have "a hemi in it". Yes it will beat your Honda in a drag race. No it is not a trailer queen or a garage ornament. I daily drive this car and I have put over 10k miles in it this year. Yes I know how to drive it, and I plan to autocross it when I'm out of school (if I haven't sold it by then for a better vette :-). Note that there are only two stock corvettes faster than this car (the C6 z06 and the C6 zr-1). At the time that this car was released, it was the fastest stock street corvette to date.

Yes the race version of my car has won multiple times at Le Mans and Sebring endurance races and is an example of American ingenuity, engineering and performance.

This car is stock and I plan to keep it stock, except for maybe an intake or something. To be honest, I got out of the modding thing a while back and bought the vettes so I didn't have to do that anymore. For now, if I want a faster street car, I'll go buy one. The delta between this car and my last base c5 in price was only $8k out of the door with taxes, title, license. I couldn't possibly spend less than $10k in mods and labor to get the performance, looks and handling of the z06 out of my last car, and this one is stock and even if I could it wouldn't be a z06 and the reliability of it wouldn't compare to my stock car.
