Corvette always go auto. Z06 suffes from grinding poor shifting and C6 fifth gear shiting problems, snapring transmission failures.

My '98 C5 3.15 auto with only ziptie mod (so 99% stock) is 0-100 in 4.98 sec and 0-160km/h in 11.25 sec 1/4 mile in 13.0-13.3 and top speed of 288km/h tested with gps in Germany ( maybe if I tried for a longer time it would probably go over 290km/h)

A C5 is much better than what's posted here. C5's are wicked fast, especially the Z06 versions. The M6 Coupe runs the quarter mile in low 13's and does 0-60 in 4.7 seconds. Top speed is about 300kmh.

Why did they test the automatic? And 5.6 0-62? That's fishy even for an automatic convertible. I'd like to see an unbiased and reasonably skilled corvette driver take a manual c5 base coupe on these tracks. It should at least be able to hang with an E46 M3.
