Default Re: 0-60 5.3??? Funny story

That may be the price of a Limited Roadster, but certainly not a Limited Coupe or SRT-6 Coupe/Roadster.
With all of the incorrect information I really wouldn't put too much faith in.
When I went to buy mine, my wife made me test drive the SRT-6 prior to the Limited and I was sold on the extra power. The stiffer ride was a small trade-off. The fixed spoiler and 15-spoke wheels have also grown on me and I now prefer both to the Limited's deployable spoiler and 7-spoke wheels.

actually it appears to be referencing the limited, notice the transmission, hp and tq? i'm assuming its a type-o and they meant 6.3, which is very attainable. high 5's and low 6's are easy with a stick and a good driver. 5.3 in a base, with 4.10 gearing, yeah.
